WaGate protects against extinguishing water in Halmstad

The problem

Elevated Flood Control: Deploying Flap Gates for Efficient Water Management

A fire training site in Halmstad, Sweden, where both stormwater and extinguishing water need to be managed, required a solution to handle the extinguishing water effectively and safely. 

Extinguishing water contains many pollutants and hazardous substances that should not be released into nature, as these substances can cause damage to ecosystems and water sources. 

According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (2017), it is important to minimize the amount of extinguishing water released into nature due to its significantly negative impact. 

Therefore, it was crucial for the customer to ensure that extinguishing water was not released into nature, causing environmental harm, which we were able to provide a solution for. 

Solution

WaGate® Gate Valve

The solution we provided is a DN1200 plastic chamber with a flowing channel  and an integrated gate valve (SVM-TG DN110), allowing the pipeline to be closed and all extinguishing water to be collected in the chamber for easier decontamination.

The chamber is equipped with a flowing channel (i.e., with a gradient towards the channel where the water flows), which allows water to naturally flow down into the channel and out of the chamber during cleaning, for example. The project consisted of four chambers, each with different angles for the inlet and outlet, while also being equipped with a flowing channel. Our colleagues in Technical Support was happy to create a custom-made solution to match the angles and assemble the chamber to meet the customer’s needs.

As always, we are grateful to have the opportunity to help our customer in Halmstad with a unique solution that meets their needs and also contributes positively to the environment.
