Turret™ Systems
Patented floating suction assemblies for dams, return water facilities, and marine intake applications - maintaining optimal draw depth automatically.
Pipeline Integrity &
Infrared Inspection
Advanced Pipeline Inspection
WPTS provides thermal infrared inspection services to identify:
- Liner delamination
- Temperature anomalies
- Early-stage structural failure
- Wall thickness irregularities
Our preventative maintenance methodology reduces unplanned downtime and catastrophic failure risk, as demonstrated in our inspection reports.

Turret™ Floating Suction Systems
WPTS is authorised to resell and integrate Turret™ patented floating return water suction systems for dams, settling ponds and return water facilities.
Intake Too High
Pump intake positioned too high causes vortexing - air bubbles enter the pump and implode, leading to cavitation, impeller damage and costly downtime.
Intake Too Low
Intake set too deep ingests tailings and silt from the pond floor - blown seals, pump damage and contaminated process water are the result.
Turret™ Floats With the Water
The Turret™ device floats on the surface, drawing water from just below - eliminating vortexing and keeping the intake away from settled tailings at any water level.
