BENEFITS OF FLOODGATE AUTOMATION FOR SUPERFICIAL WATER MANAGEMENT
Fast Problem Detection
Constant water flow monitoring - plus an effective alert system - allows for inmediate detection of problems in water delivery, minimizing losses or errors.
React to emergencies inmediatly
El accionamiento remoto entrega una capacidad de reacción inmediata frente a eventos naturales, bloqueos en la red u otras emergencias.
More efficient use of staff
Telemetry allows to prioritize operational staff time towards solving problems, since they will have to spend less time making rounds to check water flows and to communicate with water users
Increase trust between water users and organizations
Capta Hydro telemetry provides objective and transparent information, strengthening trust levels between water users and water distribution organizations, laying the foundations for their further investments
More precise water distribution
Real-time water flow data in key nodes allow for a more water precise distribution.
Detect illegal water extractions
Constant water flow monitoring - plus an effective alert system - allows for inmediate detection of possible water theft and fture prevention.
Why is it different?
We decided to innovate and develop Capta CFC, a complete existing floodgate automation solution, because we believe on modernization based on improving proven and existing infrastructure.

existing floodgate automation
Automatización de compuertas de Bocatoma
Adaptable to existing infrastructure
and floodgates
-
Simpler and cheaper installation
-
No need of major additional civil works
-
Floodgate may be refurbished or replaced if necessary
Why is it important?
-
More flexible installation, even with the canal operating at full capacity.
-
Greater robustness against sudden water level growths and extreme events. Mayor robustez ante crecidas y eventos extremos
-
Significant savings from faster installation times and less infrastructure
Installation with fully operational canal
safety and robustness
External casing dive an additional safety level
Diseño Resistente y Anti-Vandalismo
-
3mm steel protective casing
-
Zamack and cromed nickel safelock locks
-
2mm policarbonate for solar panel protection
-
Stainless steel anchoring bolts are protected inside the casing
-
Impact detection alarm (coming soon)
Why is it important?
-
Most devices are installed in generally isolated rural areas, with the possibility of permanente security personnel
-
Vandalism risk is real, particularly in developing countries
-
Devices are installed outdoor and are designed to last at least 20 years without replacement
-
Traditional steel padlocks, locks and bars can be easily vandalized with electrical cutting tools.
Solar panels with protective policarbonate
Innovative Actuation System
-
Automatic decoupling of electromechanical system when gate hits canal bottom or a strange object such as stones or logs.
-
Allows for sensibility comparable to personnel operating the floodgate.
Why is it important?
-
Conventional safety methods via electrical fuses are not sensitive enough to achieve a safe sealing against the bottom or protect the actuation mechanism against strange objects
-
In river intakes it is common for floodgates to face water with muhc more sediment and objects, increasing damage risk to the equipment.

-
Transparent support cost services
Why is it important?
-
The value of a telemetry solution is determined in great measure by it's operational continuity
-
Being isolated and exposed to the elements makes them more susceptible to failure possibilitues and makes continuos monitoring a must
-
Our commitment is to offer best-in-class service levels

How could your water management improve with a FLOODGATE AUTOMATION solution that really ADAPTS TO YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE?
The ability to operate and view the status of floodgates remotely and in real time has the potential to be a fundamental tool to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the superficial water distribution networks.
The installation of floodgate automation along a network of channels, particularly when accompanied by flow telemetry equipment, is a fundamental tool for organizations in charge of water resource distribution to be able to successfully adapt to the effects of climate change and increased water demand.
