Custom-Engineered Flow Control Solutions

 Built to Perform. Designed to Last.

Reduce downtime, improve performance, and simplify installation with VFT’s integrated gates, actuators, and steel support structures

Engineered for municipal, industrial, mining, and coastal applications.

The Challenge

Across industries, liquid flow control is critical for operational efficiency, public safety, and regulatory compliance. 

Yet many systems still face:

  • High leakage rates from ageing gates and valves
  • Corrosion damage in wet or aggressive environments
  • Manual operations that are labour-intensive and unsafe
  • Mismatched parts from multiple vendors causing delays
  • Long lead times for custom steel structures

Our Solution

We take a single-source approach: designing, manufacturing, and integrating every component in-house to ensure seamless site installation and long-term reliability.

Our Product Range includes:

  • Gates & Valves: Penstocks, sluice gates, channel gates, wall-mounted gates, tilting weirs, stop logs, hand stops, diverter gates, telescopic valves
  • Actuation Systems: Manual, gearbox, electric, or pneumatic — for safer, smarter control
  • Steel Structures: Walkways, frames, baseplates, trolleys, bogies, and water-retaining plate fabrication
