Floodgates

In ACDER each project is a challenge.

Water is our raison d'être.

Imagining a world without water is impossible for most of the planet's inhabitants. In THOMAS for many years we have researched and developed new floodgate systems and mechanised elements for dams and canals, with the aim of improving and rationing the use of water.

In each particular case, we design and construct taking into account the needs of our clients, with whom we are willing to collaborate in order to achieve a satisfactory supply.

THOMAS offers:

  • Experience
    A wide experience allows us to collaborate effectively in projects and advise on the floodgate model most suitable for each application.
  • Robust Design
    Based on the most demanding construction regulations particularly the DIN-19.704.
  • Operational Safety
    Assured by the advanced technology used in the control elements, applied with ample safety margins.
  • Water-tightness
    The use of more efficient and durable watertight closing systems, in accordance with the function to be provided and the environmental conditions of each installation, assures perfect water-tightness.
  • Low Maintenance
    Obtained by the use of stainless steel, self-lubricating bearings, maintenance ball and socket joints, watertight seals based on synthetic flexible materials and other state-of-the-art materials.
  • Rustproof finishes
    Made in our own facilities. A perfect preparation of the surface using sandblasting and correct painting processes in accordance with the Swedish SIS regulation. This guarantees a long-lasting protection, even in very harsh conditions.
  • Quality Control
    Undertaken systematically on manufacturing processes and materials following previously established "protocols and programs for points of inspection" (PPI). Our factory is equipped with a laboratory for carrying out the necessary analysis and testing.
