Solution

Shut-off & Control

Control and shut off water flows in stormwater and wastewater systems. The right solution can limit the spread of pollutants while creating safe conditions for operation and maintenance.

Safe shut-off when every second counts

During accidents and spills from roads and industrial sites, contaminated water can quickly spread through stormwater systems and reach waterways, grazing land and drinking water sources. At pumping stations and other water and wastewater facilities, the ability to control and shut off water flow is also essential for safe operation and maintenance.

With the right flow control and shut-off solution, water flows can be regulated, pipelines isolated and the spread of contaminants limited. This makes it possible to respond quickly to emergencies and plan shut-offs for servicing and maintenance. It helps protect people, the environment and infrastructure while supporting safe and reliable operation.

Which solution is right for flow control and shut-off?

The choice depends on where water flow needs to be shut off or regulated, the installation design and the functional requirements.

WaGate Gate valve is used to shut off flow in pipelines, for example for emergency shut-off in stormwater systems or before maintenance at pumping stations and other water and wastewater facilities. During accidents and spills, rapid shut-off can prevent contaminated water from spreading further.

WaGate Sluice Gate is used to regulate and shut off water flow in channels, openings and stormwater and wastewater facilities. It is suitable for pumping stations and treatment plants, among other applications, and can also be used for emergency shut-off where contaminated water needs to be contained.

    Klarälven is protected with WaGate

    The solution fell on our WaGate Sluice Gate SPM-P-TG. When the water gets too high in the Klarälven, the gate is closed and the water that flows to Torpnoret is pumped out into the river via a pumping station. With the help of a water meter that keeps track of the water level, they can shut off the water flow at a higher water level.

    Thanks to the sluice gates, there is no flooding in the nearby areas. And we thank, as usual, our customer in Karlstad and everyone involved for their good cooperation. We are always pleased when we can protect people and property.
