WaGate Gate Valve in Marine
Denmark has introduced extensive legislation to protect the environment from pollution, with a particular focus on protecting aquatic environments such as marine areas. The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for monitoring and controlling the water quality in Danish marinas and other natural water environments. This includes regular monitoring and assessment of the environmental status, with specific targets set out in water management plans and Natura 2000 plans.
Denmark has also adopted a marine strategy to promote a healthy marine environment, which includes measures such as ballast water management and the control of antifouling paints to prevent them from polluting the sea. This can be achieved by establishing washing areas where discharges can be treated before they are returned to the sea. In addition, the Danish Water Regulatory Authority monitors the financial aspects of water and wastewater companies to ensure a reliable and accessible water supply for consumers.
These measures are designed to prevent hazardous substances and pollutants from reaching water resources and ecosystems, which is of utmost importance in sensitive areas such as marine environments where the risk of pollution is significant.
To meet these requirements, we were approached by Kaløvig Marina.
The solution
Our skilled team in Denmark helped achieve high customer satisfaction by installing the WaGate shut-off valve SVL DN110 with control in a chamber as an integral part of the drainage system at Kaløvig Marina. The WaGate shut-off valve is designed to automatically or manually shut off the water flow from the marina to adjacent waterways in the event of possible pollution. The valve is equipped with a Linak control box, which offers the possibility of connecting it to a PLC.
With this solution, Kaløvig Marina can now be confident that they meet the regulatory requirements to protect the surrounding environment. Several other marinas, including Assens Marina and Kerteminde Marina, have shown interest and contacted us for similar solutions.
Area of use
Shut-off & Control
It is devastating if environmentally hazardous substances reach our surface water, recipients, pasture land or water sources. With our solutions for shutdown, you ensure emergency shut-off on roads and in industries, or shutdown at incoming lines for pumping stations, to facilitate straightforward operational and maintenance work.
