ToggleBlok® Pollution Containment Valve

Automated system engineered for rapid, full-bore isolation of drainage networks during spill, firewater, and flood events

Delivering reliable, leak-tight containment while supporting compliance with CIRIA C736 guidance

Automated Pollution Containment for Critical Drainage Systems

The ToggleBlok® Valve is a cutting-edge water pollution control device designed to protect your site and the environment with maximum efficiency and minimum disruption.

Powered by solar energy and connected to the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network, this smart valve offers automated and remote activation, ensuring a rapid response in an emergency. Its modular design makes it simple to retrofit into existing drainage systems, eliminating the need for costly and invasive civil works.

What Makes ToggleBlok® Different?

ToggleBlok® is engineered for pollution containment — not adapted from flow control systems. Unlike traditional penstock valves, it delivers rapid, leak-tight isolation of drainage networks when it matters most.

  • Closes within approximately 10 seconds to contain pollution at source
  • Maintains full bore hydraulic capacity when open
  • Remains mechanically locked once deployed, even under extreme conditions
  • Operates independently with automated and remote activation options

The system integrates with fire alarms, flood sensors, and site control systems, ensuring immediate response without reliance on manual intervention.

Aligned with CIRIA C736 guidance for pollution containment systems

ToggleBlok® vs Penstock Valves and Other Containment Systems

Not all drainage control systems are designed for pollution containment. Selecting the correct solution is critical when dealing with spill, firewater, or flood events.

Penstock valves are designed for flow control, not containment. Other systems offer varying levels of automation, but may introduce limitations in response time, sealing performance, or hydraulic capacity.

ToggleBlok® is purpose-engineered for pollution containment, delivering rapid, reliable isolation under real-world conditions.

How Does the ToggleBlok® Work?

ToggleBlok® is installed within the drainage network and remains fully open during normal operation, allowing unrestricted flow.

In the event of a spill, firewater incident, or flood condition, the system is activated automatically or remotely. The valve closes rapidly to isolate the drainage system, preventing contaminated water from leaving the site.

Depending on the application, ToggleBlok® can be configured as either an on-seating or off-seating system, ensuring the most appropriate solution for the operating conditions.

Why Choose ToggleBlok®?

ToggleBlok® is a reliable solution for water pollution and flood containment, providing a range of features designed to minimise disruption and provide unmatched ease of use.

Here are a few reasons why ToggleBlok® is the ideal choice for your site:
