KITE Cascade

KITE Cascade is designed to provide an engineered cascade solution, where water has to be taken from a high level and deposited into an adjacent drainage system.

With the recent changes in weather patterns and the impacts of global warming being felt close to home, more and more, we’re being asked to provide solutions to combat flooding or re-direct waterflows. We’re often at the mercy of fast flowing and quickly changing rivers and waterways, so providing a diversion or flow system at short notice is vital in protecting property and assets.

Designed to provide an engineered cascade solution where water has to be taken form a high level and deposited into an adjacent drainage system
Can be engineered for a multitude of flow rates and volumes
Anchored to an embankment with a minimum of foundations – utilising the proven KITE Step anchorage system
Designed to be manoeuvred with minimal handling equipment
Modular system manufactured off-site to enable maximum utilisation of engineering hours
Reduces the handling requirements of rock-based energy dispersal systems
Environmentally favourable – reduced material movements and use of natural resources
Minimal excavation required – designed to work with existing topography

How we keep networks moving

This Jetty gives access to a National Grid pylon. The distance between this pylon and the next across the River Severn, makes it the largest cable span in the UK. This location creates an added dimension, as the salty environment and aggressive weather conditions demand a resilient solution.
