Intelligent Electric Hydraulic Floodgate
When rising waters threaten, DamGuard’s Intelligent Electric Hydraulic Floodgate responds instantly—deploying at the push of a button or automatically by sensor. Designed for critical entry points and high-value assets, this floodgate blends advanced engineering with peace of mind.
DamGuard’s Intelligent Electric Hydraulic Floodgate
Smart Activation: Automated electric-hydraulic controls respond to flood sensors or remote command, eliminating delays and human error.
Seamless Integration: Discreetly recessed into the ground or built into architecture, the gate remains invisible until activated.
Unmatched Strength: Heavy-duty steel and precision hydraulics lock into place, creating a fortress-strong seal against floodwaters.
Customer Confidence: Protects storefronts, garages, data centers, ports, and infrastructure with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Peace of Mind: Intelligent monitoring ensures the system is always ready—delivering reliable protection when it matters most.
The Intelligent Electric Hydraulic Floodgate isn’t just a barrier—it’s a safeguard for your business, your property, and your future.
Specification
Overview
DamGuard’s Hydraulic Operated Heavy-Duty Flood Barriers are designed for extreme flood conditions and critical infrastructure applications. Unlike passive barriers, these systems are actively powered by hydraulic actuators, allowing rapid deployment, precise control, and integration into large-scale flood protection strategies. Built to withstand harsh environments and prolonged submersion, they provide unmatched strength and resilience for ports, marine terminals, transit systems, and industrial facilities.
Key Features
· ➞ Hydraulic Actuation: Heavy-duty cylinders deliver rapid and controlled deployment.
· ➞ Fail-Safe Design: Backup power and manual override ensure functionality during power loss.
· ➞ Extreme Durability: High-strength steel panels with corrosion-resistant coatings.
· ➞ Custom Heights and Lengths: Engineered per FEMA flood maps and client risk assessments.
· ➞ High-Capacity Sealing: Reinforced EPDM/neoprene gaskets for watertight protection.
· ➞ Remote and Local Operation: Integrated with DamGuard Aegis™ for SCADA/IoT control rooms, plus local control panels.
Operating Concept
· ➞ Standby Condition: Barrier lies recessed within a reinforced trench or vertical chamber.
· ➞ Activation: Upon signal from Aegis™ monitoring system or local operator, hydraulic rams raise the barrier.
· ➞ Full Deployment: Barrier locks into place, forming a watertight wall against floodwaters.
· ➞ Recession: After event clearance, barrier is lowered hydraulically back into its concealed position.
Integration with DamGuard Aegis™
· ➞ Centralized Monitoring: Live system status, diagnostics, and flood predictions.
· ➞ Remote Operation: Activation via SCADA/IoT interface or mobile device.
· ➞ Forecast-Driven Deployment: AI + NOAA feed integration for predictive activation.
· ➞ Redundancy Monitoring: Alerts for hydraulic pressure, actuator health, and seal performance.
Applications
· ➞ Marine Terminals and Ports.
· ➞ Industrial Facilities and Power Plants.
· ➞ Transit Stations and Subway Entrances.
· ➞ Hospitals and Data Centers in flood zones.
· ➞ Municipal Infrastructure: tunnels, underpasses, pumping stations.
Compliance Note
DamGuard Hydraulic Barriers are designed in alignment with FEMA flood protection standards and engineering best practices for active flood mitigation. While FEMA notes passive measures as preferred for simplicity, heavy-duty hydraulic systems are required for large-scale, critical applications where active deployment, extended heights, and controlled operation are essential.
