Flood Control Unit

Sigma Flow

Flood Control Unit

Flood control consists of either providing the ability to remove excess water from flood-prone areas during storm events or providing adequate storage space for excess water during periods of heavy rain. The first approach uses large pumping stations to evacuate extra water. The second approach uses canals, large water mains and other approaches to keep water contained until it can be naturally released. As water rises in these structures, many discharge lines that are normally well above the water level may suddenly find themselves deeply submerged. It is important, therefore, to protect all discharge lines in a flood control basin with reliable backflow prevention.

Maintaining the seamless operation of extensive water supply networks poses significant engineering challenges due to factors such as:

Topographic Complexity

The varied landscape affects water flow.

Network Connectivity

The intricate connections between different systems.

Regulatory Systems

Different functional regulatory frameworks complicate management.

Demand Variability

Fluctuations in water demand over time and space.

Pipeline Friction

The interaction between water and pipeline surfaces.

Non-Revenue Water

High percentages of water that do not generate revenue.

At Sigma Flow, we specialize in providing reliable isolation valves, including gate valves and butterfly valves, designed to minimize service disruptions during maintenance and repair. These valves are strategically placed to ensure that sections of the network can be isolated with minimal inconvenience to other service areas.

Control Valves

Control valves are integral to managing flow and pressure within the distribution system.

They are sized based on the desired flow rates, upstream and downstream pressure differentials, and flow velocities. SIGMAFLOW offers a variety of control valves, including pressure-reducing, pressure-sustaining, pressure-relief, flow-control, throttling, and float valves.

For maintaining optimal flow

Additionally, air release valves, essential for maintaining optimal flow, are installed at high points or gradient changes in the main pipeline. SIGMAFLOW provides a comprehensive range of air valves specifically designed for distribution lines.

Critical Valve Applications in Flood Prevention and Management

Valves play a crucial role in flood control by regulating water flow, preventing backflow, and managing pressure to protect vulnerable areas. Their proper use ensures effective flood prevention and the safety of infrastructure during heavy rainfall or storms.

Efficient Flood Control with Reliable Valves

Ensure the safety and efficiency of your flood control systems with our high-quality valves. Designed to regulate water flow, prevent backflow, and manage pressure, our valves provide reliable protection for infrastructure and communities during heavy rainfall and storms. Trust us to deliver the best in flood prevention technology—keeping your systems secure and your areas protected.
