Measuring Industrial Effluent Above Ground
It isn’t always desirable or practical to measure industrial effluent flows below grade. For those applications, Openchannelflow takes our proven Redstone fiberglass enclosures and nests a flow-measuring flume or mag meter.
Parshall Flume Flow Monitoring Manholes
Parshall Flume Flow Monitoring Manholes from Openchannelflow take the tried and true Parshall flume and factory integrate it into a fiberglass manhole. The resultant structure is perfect for monitoring industrial discharges, municipal sewers, and dam seepage on below grade…
