The Water Weights range of flexidams and mattress bags allows uniform surface loadings to be applied. Advantages over traditional solid weights include ease of handling and positioning on site, very low carriage costs and gradual application of load (often over a period of several days).
Loading is measured by means of a calibrated flowmeter to give accuracy of +1/-2%. By using our simple manifold arrangement several units can be filled simultaneously.
Water Weights provides specialist products, services and project management for structural testing. This includes verification of structural integrity of buildings, testing of bridges, elevators, loading ramps, gangways and decks.
Specific examples of applications include:
Roll on, roll off ferry ramps have been tested ranging from 70 to 600 tonnes
Ballasting arrangements for ship's conversion up to 300 tonnes
General floor testing applications to verify structural integrity on renovation; change of use or suspected structural damage. Examples include, 130 tonnes to an educational establishment and 40 tonnes to an historical monument.
Passenger and freight elevator testing.
