Tilting Weirs – Precision Water Level Management by AQUIKO

Tilting weirs are specialised flow-control solutions that pivot rather than slide vertically, enabling precise water-level regulation, simplified mounting and minimal head-loss. Ideal for drainage, land-management, flood-defence and conservation applications, AQUIKO’s tilting weirs deliver engineered performance and long-term reliability.

Why choose AQUIKO Tilting Weirs

• UK-designed and manufactured for consistent build quality, rapid lead-times and local support.

• Innovative tilting design — eliminates the need for deep recesses at the end of a channel and enables smooth flow‐over operation.

• Durably engineered materials — available in HDPE and stainless steel 316L for both lightweight and high‐resilience applications.

• Flexible manual or automated operation — suitable for both simple level control and fully integrated systems.

• Suitable for contractors and resellers — standardised models for stock plus bespoke configurations for varied projects.

Our Range of Tilting Weirs

• Standard Tilting Weirs — prefabricated units designed for typical flow‐control and drainage setups.

• Automated Tilting Weirs — with actuators or smart controls for remote or dynamic water-level regulation.

• Beam-less Tilting Weirs — designed for watercourses used by canoes, or where floating debris is common, offering minimalist profiles.

• Custom Tilting Weirs — tailored for non-standard dimensions, special materials or unique hydraulic conditions.

Tilting weir FAQs

What is a tilting weir?

A tilting weir is a gate that pivots, rather than slides, to set and hold an upstream water level. Water spills over the top, and tilting the gate raises or lowers the level.

What are AQUIKO tilting weirs made from?

HDPE or stainless steel 316L. HDPE is light and corrosion-free; stainless steel 316L suits heavier-duty and more demanding sites.

Can a tilting weir be automated?

Yes. Tilting weirs can be operated manually or fitted with actuators and controls for remote or automatic water-level regulation.
