WACO Marine
WACO Marine Products are typically installed on ships, docks, and offshore platforms. Common production items include accommodation ladders, gangways, brows, incline ladders, vertical ladders, and the components that mate with them such as davits, lifting bridles, stowage systems, railings, treads, stairs, and pier stands. Our vertical ladders can be outfitted with a variety of safety systems such as fall prevention rails, safety extensions, grab bars, cages, and intermediate platforms. Most ladders are lightweight and corrosion resistant aluminum, but steel and fiberglass materials are also available.
WACO also specializes in grating systems and platforms including frames, handrails, support structures, integrated overhead gratings and stowage battens, and non-slip surfaces and corrosion resistant materials. Specialty items such as ROV frames, cable trays, lifeboat cradles, and filter enclosures, as well as custom fabrication to the customer's design are also available. Contact WACO Products for design and selection assistance on your next project.
WACO Environmental
WACO Environmental Products are typically installed in municipal or industrial water and wastewater systems. WACO Products can supply all of the gates for your plants or pump stations including fabricated alternatives for cast iron constructions. Many owners and engineers are realizing the superior performance, maintenance, and cost advantages of WACO Products fabricated gates throughout a water system.
Slide gates are typically used isolate plant process sections for treatment control and to isolate specific plant and pump station areas and equipment for maintenance. Weir gates enable operators to balance water flow and levels throughout a treatment facility. Slide and weir gates can be manually, electrically, or hydraulically (water or synthetic fluid) operated as required by the gate dimensions or frequency of operation. Gates are designed to meet or exceed all applicable and most recent AWWA standards such as C561 for fabricated stainless slide gates and C562 for fabricated aluminum slide gates. With many years of experience and countless design firsts, contact WACO Products for design and selection assistance on your next project.
Hand pull stop gates or stop logs are economical ways to stop or divert flows where control requirements are less frequent. Waco flap gates and canal gates add to our full line of flow control products. Other WACO fabrications such as weirs, troughs, debris baskets, bar screens, baffle walls, vertical ladders, and bar or plank grating assemblies are utilized in CSO/SSO structures and pump stations as well as treatment plants.
Aluminum is a natural material for use around water. All WACO Environmental products are available in aluminum. It is resistant to corrosion, lightweight and strong, and uniquely versatile in extruded shapes. Requiring little maintenance, WACO aluminum environmental products can be used throughout your treatment system safely and economically.
Stainless steel alloys should be chosen when the higher cost is justified by the severity of the water or atmospheric conditions. Stainless steel construction is available for all WACO equipment, and is usually recommended where corrosion potential is particularly high. Highly abrasive conditions or requirements for high purity applications may also indicate stainless steel as the material of choice.
WACO Industrial / General Fabrication
WACO Products custom fabricates many different constructions to meet our customer's specific plans and specifications. Typical materials include aluminum, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, and carbon steel. If you have a structural fabrication requirement, contact WACO Products.
