Tilting Weirs

Huntons have experience of tilting weir gates which offer a unique combination of low visual impact and fine control of the upstream water level. Typical installations include Osney Tilting Weir which was designed, manufactured and installed in 2013 in Oxford on the River Thames. The gate is 3m high by 5.5m wide and is controlled via a Rotork IQ actuator through a robust rack and pinion drive. The gate and drive system is construction from stainless steel. The gate can and drive combined was CE marked under the machinery directive.
