07 Jan Sluice Gates for Effective Stormwater Management
Protecting Communities from Flooding
with Whipps, Inc. Stormwater Gates
In municipalities, effective stormwater management is critical for protecting infrastructure, preventing flooding, and ensuring community safety. At Whipps, Inc., we specialize in custom-fabricated water control gates designed to regulate stormwater flow in pipelines, detention basins, and open channels. From large metropolitan areas to smaller towns, our solutions help communities manage runoff, reduce risks, and meet strict regulatory requirements.
Stormwater Management Requires Precision
Heavy rainfall and rapid runoff can quickly overwhelm urban drainage systems if not properly controlled. Municipal stormwater systems must balance water levels, regulate flow, and protect downstream areas all while withstanding severe weather events.
That’s where Whipps, Inc.’s water control equipment comes in. We manufacture high-performance sluice and slide gates specifically engineered for municipal environments. These gates provide dependable, precise control to help operators regulate stormwater flow, protect infrastructure, and safeguard communities during periods of heavy rain.
Custom Water Control Equipment Built for Municipal Systems
Engineered for Harsh Conditions
Whipps, Inc. designs and fabricates stormwater gates from corrosion-resistant materials such as 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, and 6061 aluminum. All gates are built to meet or exceed AWWA standards and are customized to match the layout and requirements of each project. Whether your system serves a dense urban core or a small community, our equipment ensures reliable and long-lasting performance.
