Enhance Stability in Water Management Projects with JET Filter

Flood Control Channels: Protecting Against Erosion and Pressure

Flood control channels and trapezoidal stormwater channels are essential for managing water flow during heavy rainfall and storm events. Proper drainage is critical to relieving hydrostatic pressure and preventing costly structural damage.

 

  • Efficient Drainage Solutions: JET Filter Systems feature maintainable weep hole filters equipped with the TenCate Mirafi FW 300 series, which ensures consistent performance in dynamic, high-gradient conditions.
  • Ease of Maintenance: The replaceable inner filter cartridge allows for quick cleaning or replacement from the front side, eliminating the need for excavation.
  • Extended Infrastructure Life: By reducing water pressure and soil erosion risks, JET Filters enhance the durability of flood control channels, protecting against buckling or seam separation that could lead to expensive repairs.

    With JET Filters, districts can safeguard their budgets while maintaining the structural integrity of critical water management infrastructure.

Dams & Spillways: Relieving Pressure, Preserving Stability

Dams and spillways are monumental structures that manage water flow, prevent flooding, and even generate electricity. These structures endure immense pressure, requiring robust drainage systems to ensure safety and durability.

 

  • Relieving Hydrostatic Pressure: JET Filter weep hole components drain water from behind wing walls, channel walls, and aprons, preventing cracks, wall movement, and slab uplift.
  • Dual-Function Design: The integrated backflow preventer relieves internal hydrostatic pressure while protecting against external water intrusion, ensuring balanced pressure management.
  • Enhanced Longevity: Easy-to-maintain weep hole filters protect backfill integrity, reducing the risk of structural failure and extending the life of dams, spillways, and retention basins.

    JET Filters ensure dams and spillways maintain their functionality over time, even under high-pressure conditions.

Stormwater Channels: Managing Heavy Rainfall

Stormwater channels handle high water volumes during sudden storms and heavy rainfall. Without proper drainage, these systems are prone to overflow and erosion, posing risks to nearby properties and infrastructure.

 

  • High-Volume Adaptability: JET Filters’ one-way backflow preventers effectively manage water flow, preventing accumulation and erosion behind or beneath channel walls.
  • Erosion Control: By allowing water to drain while blocking soil migration, JET Filters reduce structural stress and prevent erosion-related damage.
  • Optimized Water Flow Management: These solutions help municipalities enhance water flow strategies in storm-prone areas, reducing repair costs and infrastructure risks.JET Filters are essential for stormwater channels designed to handle the challenges of extreme weather events.

Watershed and Bank Stabilization: Safeguarding Natural Systems

Watersheds and banks are critical components of natural water management systems, channeling water from creeks and rivers to larger bodies of water. Fast-moving stormwater can destabilize banks, leading to erosion and downstream flooding.

 

  • Erosion Prevention: Retaining walls and weep hole filters protect banks from erosion, preventing sediment from clogging downstream areas.
  • Pressure Relief for Stability: JET Filters drain water pressure behind earth-retaining infrastructure, maintaining structural integrity and extending service life.
  • Eco-Friendly Maintenance: Front-side installation of weep hole filters eliminates the need for excavation, preserving natural landscapes while providing robust drainage.
