The precise level and flow control provided by the OBERMEYER Gate System facilitates controlled water diversion at rivers without flutuations in diverted flow caused by flow changes. Automatic water level control at canal drop structures provides uniform discharges at canal outlets under varying flowrates.
Automatic level control may be used to operate a canal at maximum capacity and maintain constant discharge at laterals or siphons without the danger of overtopping due to upstream level changes.
The bottom hinged design is ideally suited to passing debris without becoming blocked or jammed.
