River Level Control systems within Flood Defence
JK Controls Ltd have carried out specialist control systems projects for the National Rivers Authority and the Environment Agency, undertaking design, procurement, building, installation, commissioning and documentation of measurement and control schemes for weirs, gates, penstocks, pumps, screens, water intakes etc.
Where many individual installations on a river have been designed and built by an array of different contracting organisations, there will inevitably be a diversity of designs and methods amongst them. JK Controls has taken the best features and eliminated the worst to improve the overall operation and reliability of the installations.
- In the absence of detailed information for existing installations, analysis of the river level control software and hardware has been undertaken, enabling reverse engineering and production of drawings and manuals for operation and maintenance function. Where existing control schemes have been of poor design we have analysed the problems, written reports, re-designed and improved the systems.
- In order to thoroughly verify automatic control systems under all operational and fault conditions physical models have been built, thus enabling creation of control schemes that are fully working and tested prior to fitting at site and so reducing commissioning time.

- Apart from the plant control there is also the neglected issue of operator "friendliness". Care is taken to ensure that HMI displays, messages and other operator interactions are managed in an ergonomic way to minimize confusion.
- JK Controls Ltd also carries out routine and breakdown maintenance of the controls to achieve high availability of the Client's assets.
- We can supply, install and maintain telemetry systems.
