OBERMEYER HYDRO, Inc. Ideas that Hold Water

OBERMEYER Spillway Gates are ideal for low head navigation impoundments. Under high flow conditions, with the gates lowered, there are no intermediate piers to endanger or obstruct barge traffic. The OBERMEYER Spillway Gates can be proportionally controlled to maintain a constant upstream channel depth. Because all the gates act in unison the spillage flows are evenly distributed downstream, resulting in less channel scouring and optimum uniform velocity navigation conditions. The OBERMEYER service crane permits maintenance of individual air bladders and gates under a wide range of water elevations and flow conditions.
