Benefits of HTE’s Rubber Dams Over Other Gate Technologies

HTE’s rubber dam systems offer distinct advantages when compared to traditional gate technologies, providing significant benefits for your project:

• Cost-Effective: You’ll see substantial savings on materials, and both construction and installation are faster and simpler than with conventional gate structures. Operating and maintenance costs are also lower due to their straightforward, inexpensive operating systems.
• Superior Flow Management: Unlike other gates, our rubber dams can fully deflate, allowing for the unobstructed passage of high flows, which is crucial during flood events.
• Simplified Operation: Their high-volume, low-pressure design means you don’t need costly high-pressure compressors often associated with other gate technologies.
• Reduced Maintenance: Our dams are designed without leaking seals, a frequent problem with other gate systems. Plus, they perform reliably in cold climates, eliminating the need for de-icing, preventing jamming, and requiring no lubrication.
• Enhanced Durability: HTE’s rubber dams can adapt to foundation settlement and absorb impacts, contributing to their long lifespan. They also require no painting, further reducing ongoing maintenance efforts.
