Sluice Gate Jacks Improve Water Management
The management of water has never been a greater problem facing millions of business and residents in the United Kingdom. The Association of British Insurers has claimed the cost of the flooding may be as high £3bn this year. Torrential rain across the UK has been seen to cause horrendous damage, and the summer of 2007 is likely to become the wettest since rainfall records began in 1914, Met Office figures suggest.

Small area water regulation makes a valuable contribution to the prevention of damage, whether it is caused by excess water or a lack of water. Sluice gate jacks are the ideal solution for this.They are used on streams and rivers, in sluices and power stations to regulate the water level and turbine capacity and to drain and flush reservoirs. In open water near towns, sluice gate jacks are used in emergency water extraction equipment for fire fighting.
