Floating Intake Screens

Floating intake screens — self-contained and self-buoyant. Enables floating intakes instead of fixed structures, eliminating the special-design and leg-support work that fixed installs require.

Engineered for working sites.

Floating intake screens are self-contained and self-buoyant — replacing fixed-structure intakes that need special design to avoid damage when water levels drop.

  • Enables floating intakes instead of fixed structures
  • Fixed intakes need special design to avoid damage if levels drop
  • Fixed assemblies are harder to install
  • Fixed pontoons need leg supports during ground assembly
  • Floating intake screens are self-contained and self-buoyant

Designs are CFD-validated for airflow and intake behaviour. Standard 1.9 × 1.9 × 1.5 m and Shallow Sucker 2.2 × 2.3 m configurations available.
