Controlled High Flow Bypass Structure
The StormGate addresses high-energy flows, in excess of design flows, that may occur on a site. High flows can reduce the effectiveness of water quality facilities by re-suspending sediments and flushing captured floatables, causing a concentrated pulse of pollutants to be sent to downstream waterways.
Benefits of the StormGate high flow bypass structures:
- Minimizes the occurrence of pulsing when installed upstream of water quality or pretreatment facilities
- Directs the high flow away from upstream treatment system
- Field-adjustable weir and orifice offers tighter control over system hydraulics than other high flow bypass methods
