Water & wastewater (AMP8)

Smart valve actuation for water and wastewater infrastructure

Treatment works, pumping stations, reservoirs, pressure management and distribution networks. RIFT’s low-power actuation automates remote assets, and condition data turns routine inspection rounds into targeted maintenance.

Thousands of assets, finite site visits

Water companies operate valves spread across fields, chambers and compounds, often without convenient mains power. Routine checking burns time, fuel and carbon — and still misses the valve that is quietly deteriorating.

Typical applications

Water treatment works
Wastewater treatment
Pumping stations
Reservoirs & storage
Pressure management
Distribution networks

How RIFT helps: Water & wastewater (AMP8)

Automation without new power cabling

RIFT’s patented Reduced Induction Field Technology cuts electrical demand, making 12–30 V DC, solar and battery installations practical at remote sites.

Know the valve moved

Position feedback and movement data give confidence that an instructed operation actually happened — not just that a command was sent.

Maintain on evidence

Cycle history and condition states give service teams a reason to visit, or a reason not to.

Built for chambers and outstations

IP68 RAL actuators have proven themselves on hard-to-reach underground assets, with Modbus for telemetry outstations.

Frequently asked questions

How does RIFT support AMP8 outcomes?

AMP8 investment prioritises resilience, efficiency and carbon reduction. Low-power actuation reduces energy demand, solar and battery operation avoids new cabling, and condition data reduces unnecessary maintenance journeys.

Can RIFT actuators run from solar power?

Yes, for suitable duties. The power budget depends on actuator size, duty cycle, communications and site conditions — our engineers will size the system with you.

What communications are available?

Modbus is available across the SMART range, alongside 4–20 mA. Cellular, Wi-Fi and LPWAN telemetry options are part of the connected roadmap.
