Services
Valve Automation
We provide comprehensive valve automation solutions using Flowserve/Limitorque and Kerry electro-hydraulic actuators. Our systems enable precise flow control in municipal and industrial water treatment facilities. Our engineers design custom automation packages for butterfly valves, sluice gates, and specialty applications up to 144" diameter.
Surge Analysis
Our surge analysis services identify transient pressure risks in water distribution systems. Using advanced modeling software, we develop mitigation strategies including surge relief valves and pump control sequencing. This prevents pipeline damage and extends infrastructure lifespan in municipal water systems.
Pump Control Valves
We supply engineered pump control valves including rotary cone valves and AWWA ball valves. These solutions optimize pump efficiency while preventing backflow and water hammer. Our systems reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs in high-service pumping applications.
Backflow Prevention
Our backflow prevention systems use Tideflex duckbill check valves and mechanical flap gates. These solutions protect against stormwater intrusion in combined sewer systems. We design installations for outfall structures and collection systems to meet EPA compliance standards.
In-Plant Services
We offer on-site valve and actuator start-up, inspection, and training services. Our technicians perform field retrofits and provide operational training for flow control equipment. This ensures proper installation and maintenance of critical process systems in wastewater treatment plants.
