Gateway to Europe: Ystad's Vital Port

Connecting Continents

Ystad is also home to one of Sweden's largest ports, serving as a crucial link to Bornholm, Poland, and numerous European harbors. With its strategic location, this port plays a pivotal role in the transportation industry, facilitating global connectivity.

Flood Control Measures: A Necessity

Securing the Stormwater System

As Ystad's port continues to expand, the construction of a new truck staging area brought forth a critical requirement: the ability to close off a DN1500mm stormwater pipe in case of emergencies or accidents.

Enter the Tidal Check Valve

Preventing Floods with Precision

To address this challenge, a Tidal Check Valve was introduced, offering an effective solution to control flooding and manage stormwater flow. This innovative flap gate ensures that the stormwater system remains secure and can be promptly shut off when necessary.

Safety and Environmental Protection

Guarding Against Disaster

With the Tidal Check Valve in place, Ystad enhances its safety measures, protecting both the environment and the community from potential flooding incidents.

A Vital Investment for Ystad's Future

Continued Growth and Preparedness

Ystad's commitment to fortifying its infrastructure demonstrates its dedication to sustainable growth and readiness for the future. This investment reinforces the town's status as a vital hub in the region.

Introducing the Tidal Check Valve and Flap Gate

Effective Flood Prevention

To address this challenge, a combination of flood control solutions was implemented. The WaGate SPM-P-TG DN1500 was installed on the outgoing line, while the WaStop DN1200 and WaStop DN500 were strategically placed on the inlet line.

Ensuring Water Quality with the WaGate

Preventing Pollution

In the event of accidents, the WaGate serves as a safeguard, swiftly closing to prevent pollutants from entering the stormwater system and polluting the nearby sea outfall. This proactive approach helps protect Ystad's coastal waters from contamination.

Countering Backflow with WaStop

Defending Against Inundation

The WaStop plays a critical role in preventing backflow. Without this essential component, seawater could surge back into the system, causing widespread flooding in the surrounding area. The presence of the WaStop ensures flood control and protects nearby buildings.

Celebrating a Successful Project

Preserving Ystad's Port

This project marks a significant achievement for Ystad, safeguarding its port against water pollution and flooding. The combination of the Tidal Check Valve and Flap Gate provides robust flood control measures, enhancing the town's resilience in the face of unforeseen events.
