Monitoring and Controlling Spillway Lift Gates
Interface load cells are used in spillway gates to measure the force or load acting on the gate. Measuring accuracy is essential for managing water flow in spillways, dams, and similar water management structures. Civil engineers and equipment manufacturers need immediate data to modernize vital infrastructure worldwide. Retrofitting spillways with advanced sensor technologies is essential to maintain gates, improve lift and closure, protect the environment, and safeguard people. A spillway gate's exact capacity and dimensions may require a custom measurement solution to integrate the sensor into the design.
