ADAPTABLE DESIGN

Multiple areas of application including Reservoir Towers, Chambers & Culverts, Tunnels & Service Reservoirs, Aqueducts, Pumping Stations, and Treatment Works.

The onus of maintaining reservoir safety rests with the operators. The Hydrasafe^® actuator offers a solution for a broad spectrum of water industry assets where confined space entry poses operational risks, maintenance deficits, and financial concerns. In situations where power for an electric actuator is unavailable or cost-prohibitive, Hydrasafe^® emerges as the ideal solution.

Potential areas of application include assets such as Reservoir Towers, Chambers & Culverts, Tunnels & Service Reservoirs, Aqueducts, Pumping Stations, and Treatment Works. In essence, any asset facing challenging access issues or where power is not a viable alternative can benefit from this solution.
