Whipps, Inc.: Precision Water Control Built to Last
For nearly five decades, Whipps, Inc. has set the standard in custom-engineered water control equipment. Every sluice gate, slide gate, stop gate, stop log, and flap gate we manufacture is the result of precision engineering, durable materials, and expert craftsmanship.
Manufacturing Excellence: The Craftsmanship Behind Whipps Water Control Equipment
At Whipps, Inc., we understand that controlling water requires precision. That’s why our team designs and fabricates each gate from high-grade stainless steel and aluminum—materials chosen for their strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dependability. From the first weld to the final inspection, every Whipps product is built to perform in the toughest environments.
Our gates are trusted worldwide in a range of critical applications, including wastewater treatment facilities, flood control systems, irrigation channels, and hydropower projects. Whether the goal is to regulate flow, maintain reservoir levels, or isolate systems for maintenance, Whipps gates deliver accuracy, durability, and minimal leakage under demanding conditions.
Precision in Every Product
Each gate design reflects our commitment to reliable performance. Sluice and slide gates ensure smooth operation and precise control. Stop gates and stop logs offer versatile, modular flow isolation, while flap gates provide dependable backflow prevention in drainage and stormwater systems. No matter the design, all Whipps gates share one core quality: they’re engineered to last.
Every component is custom-built to specification, ensuring seamless installation and integration into new or existing infrastructure. From small municipal projects to complex industrial systems, our engineers and fabricators work closely with clients to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions that stand the test of time.
