The Flow Control Group operates an in-house machine and fabrication facility which manufactures penstocks, knife gate valves, flap valves, stop logs and hydrostatic valves. We are also able to manufacture ancillary valve equipment including the machining of drive bushes, manufacture of pedestals and extension spindles. The ability to produce these items in house ensures accuracy of manufacture and speed of response.

We have invested in both CNC machines and state of the art fabrication equipment which when used in conjunction with our CAD modelling capability ensures the production of parts to very high standards.

Our Engineering department uses Autocad Inventa CAD drawing facilities which incorporating finite element analysis. We also use parametric design capabilities developed within the business to maximise efficiency and our ability to supply designs, GA drawings and quotations quickly.

The holistic approach to manufacturing and design has allowed us to improve performance the of valves through optimisation in designs. 

All valves supplied by us including those fitted with gearboxes, actuators and other ancillary items can be provided in 3D CAD blocks and we are able to satisfy all BIM functionality requirements.
