A Few Words From Our Happy Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vortex Flow Control?
Vortex Flow Control is a technology used to regulate water flow in drainage systems, using a self-activating mechanism that requires no external power or moving parts.
How does Vortex Flow Control work?
It works by creating a vortex motion in water, which limits the flow rate through a circular opening, allowing for controlled release of water and reducing the risk of flooding.
What are the applications of Vortex Flow Control?
It’s widely used in stormwater management, sewer systems, and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) for controlling and mitigating flood risks.
What are the benefits of using Vortex Flow Control?
Vortex Flow Controls are beneficial for reducing the risk of flooding, managing stormwater effectively, and ensuring consistent flow rates in varying conditions.
What is Hydro Brake Flow Control?
Hydro Brake Flow Control is a type of Vortex Flow Control device that uses hydrodynamic forces to control the flow of water, typically in stormwater systems.
Can Vortex Flow Control be used in both surface water and foul/combined applications?
Yes, it is versatile and can be used in both surface water applications like stormwater management and foul/combined sewer systems.
