Stormwater flumes are used in various applications to measure and control the flow of water, helping to manage stormwater runoff effectively and prevent flooding, erosion, and water pollution. Some common applications for stormwater flumes include urban drainage systems where they monitor and regulate stormwater drainage networks including water flow from streets, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces. Flumes are just as useful in water treatment plants to measure and control the flow of stormwater and wastewater, ensuring proper treatment and discharge; and in agricultural settings, where they help manage stormwater runoff and irrigation water, preventing soil erosion, nutrient loss, and water pollution.
ParkUSA manufactures flumes in many styles including the Parshall, Palmer-Bowlus, or H-Type design to offer precise flow measurement. A state-of-the-art control system can be incorporated into a flume system to automatically measure and monitor the flow rate. This enables real-time data collection and analysis, helping to optimize stormwater management and facilitate timely decision-making.
A wastewater or stormwater open-channel flume is designed to measure the flow rate of water passing through an open channel or pipe. It can be provided with various flow monitoring devices such as staff gauges, ultrasonic sensors, pressure transducers, and electronic totalizers. Our flumes are built within a precast concrete structure that houses the flume and provides an interior platform. The structure supports direct burial and enables seamless inlet and outlet pipe connections, ensuring proper flow management and measurement within the system.
ParkUSA flumes incorporate additional features to enhance their capabilities and ensure a comprehensive and efficient solution for optimizing stormwater or wastewater management practices. Accurate flow measurement, versatile flume types, minimal maintenance, robust construction, precast concrete housing, and an automated control system offer an ideal solution for a wide range of water management applications.
Wastewater and stormwater flumes accurately measure and control water flow to help minimize environmental impact, public safety risk, and infrastructure damage.
With over 35 years of experience, we offer proven water management innovation, technology, and service.
