Bay Watch Controls Cardiff Barrage

ABB Utilities Automation has completed a major upgrade for the Cardiff Barrage control system to provide fully automatic control of the five sluice gates, which now open and close in response to the estuary tides and the water level in the bay behind the barrage. It also provides control of the locks which allow boats to navigate between the Bristol Channel and Cardiff Bay.
