PE Certified “Stamp” on System Designs: The approved design for every custom Water Screen System will receive a PE certification stamp. This certification is based on calculations that show the system will withstand the forces due to a given flow rate, the dimensions of the water intake opening, and the screen clogging percentage. We design our screens per ASD (Allowable Stress Design) specifications to verify that the screens and frames can withstand the loading from the water.
Our team of experienced engineers can assist with site evaluation and can study both the required performance criteria and the environment in which the water screen system will operate. We can also reverse engineer and replace damaged water screen systems.
Our detailed process ensures that we deliver the right system design for the project that is efficient, cost effective and is built to last.
The size and type of debris determines the mesh type and opening size.
Cambridge Water Screen Systems Product Development Process.
When our engineers are involved early in the planning process, we can provide critical information in system selection and design. We can evaluate the site and study the required performance criteria and the environment.
We utilize the Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) methodology to insure we creatively generate the best solutions for the greatest value for our customers.
