Utilising the unique flow test facility ‘FlowLab’, AWMA has developed world first certified flow algorithms that will provide operators with accurate flow measurement on both manual and automated gates.
Prof. R.J. Keller presented the paper “The LayFlat Gate for Flow Regulation and Measurement – Development and Experience in Large Scale Installations” at the Hydraulic Measurements and Experimental Methods 2012 Conference (HMEM2012) in the USA. The paper showcased AWMA’s LayFlat Gate and the successful flow algorithm developed for its regulation and measurement capacity. The LayFlat’s unique features and accurate flow management involved extensive research and development, resulting in thousands of installations of one of the world’s most successful water management gates.
