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.
The Association of British Insurers has claimed the cost of flooding may be as high GBP 3 billion this year.
Torrential rain across the UK has caused horrendous damage and the summer of 2007 is likely to become the wettest since rainfall records began in 1914, according to Met Office figures.
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 suitable for these applications.
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.
Power Jacks sluice gate jacks offer a long service life and an environmentally friendly design.
The company offers a wide range of units, from simple hand-powered sluice gate jacks for a load of 1 tonne to large systems with tandem sluice gate jacks lifting gates with a height of 6m and a total weight of 40 tonnes, which have a motorised drive unit and various regulating systems.
For more advanced systems Power Jacks' range of precision screw jacks and electric linear actuators can be supplied to provide an extensive range of water management solutions.
