Prepare for the Summertime with Water Control Equipment from Whipps, Inc.
Summer is right around the corner and with it comes intense heat, heavy rainfall, and the need for efficient, reliable water management. Whether you’re protecting urban infrastructure from flash floods, distributing water for irrigation, or maintaining environmental restoration projects, Whipps, Inc. has the equipment you need to stay ahead of seasonal challenges.
Whipps, Inc. will provide the water control you need to stay cool. Thanks to power plants and water treatment facilities using our robust water control products, including the 900 Series Slide Gates and 500 Series Stop Logs, communities can count on safe, uninterrupted water distribution throughout the summer months. Water control is critical to power generation, especially in peak demand seasons. Our gates help facilities manage reservoirs and cooling systems efficiently, preventing energy losses during heat waves.
Combat Summer Storms with Flood Control Systems
While summer is often associated with sunshine and recreation, it’s also the season for intense thunderstorms and sudden downpours. These events can overwhelm stormwater systems, leading to flash flooding, road closures, and property damage. Whipps, Inc. provides dependable solutions for stormwater management, including flap gates, slide gates, and shear gates that perform reliably under pressure. Our equipment helps municipalities channel runoff efficiently, minimizing risk and keeping communities safe.
Built to Beat the Heat
Extreme summer heat can take a toll on traditional cast iron components. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to thermal expansion, corrosion, and even structural compromise. That’s why Whipps fabricates its water control gates from high-grade stainless steel and aluminum, maintaining their strength and precision under harsh conditions. Our gates offer superior resistance to heat, corrosion, and wear, making them ideal for dams, reservoirs, and other critical infrastructure that must perform through seasonal extremes.
Reliable Water Distribution for Irrigation & Restoration
Summer is also peak season for agriculture and environmental restoration work, and that means consistent, controlled water distribution is more important than ever. Our custom-engineered sluice gates and stop logs are trusted across the country in irrigation canals, wetlands restoration projects, and fish hatcheries. From regulating flow in sensitive habitats to managing sediment and silt in agricultural channels, Whipps products support sustainability and efficient water use when it matters most.
Custom Solutions for Every Industry
From mining operations to hydroelectric facilities, every application has its own summer-specific demands. Whether you’re looking to upgrade an aging gate system or need custom-fabricated equipment for a new project, our in-house engineering team works closely with you to design solutions that perform reliably in any environment. Every gate is tested for performance, sealed for durability, and built to meet or exceed industry standards, including AWWA C561-21 and C562-21.
