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

In the event of accidents or spills from roads and industrial sites, contaminated water can quickly spread through stormwater systems and reach surface waters, receiving waters, pasture land and water sources. At pumping stations and other water and wastewater facilities, the ability to control and shut off water flow is also important for safe operation and maintenance.

With the right shut-off and control solution, water flows can be regulated, pipelines shut off and the spread of pollutants limited. Our WaGate Gate Valves and Sluice Gates enable both rapid shut-off in emergency situations and controlled shut-off of incoming pipelines, for example at pumping stations. This helps protect people, the environment and infrastructure while supporting safe and reliable operation.

    WaGate sluice gates environmental installation in Plain Dealing, LA

    Small towns can’t afford to make mistakes with the companies they work with or the equipment they install, so BAR Environmental chose corrosion-resistant WaGate SPK – TG 316 stainless steel sluice gates for an immediate solution and long-term durability.

    As with many projects, a slight complication arose during the installation process when the old, brittle concrete in the clarifier did not immediately provide a good surface for the WaGate anchor bolts to attach properly. After a quick application of epoxy in the original anchor holes, the bolts were seated, and the installation of the sluice gates was completed.

    Ultimately, both BAR Environmental and the friendly town of Plain Dealing were pleased with the ease and speed of the installation. Upon commissioning, the shop manager, in true small-town fashion, said, “This is great! Now I can focus on the next thing.”
