Water Cannon Automation Solutions for the Marine Industry
Controlled Force. Remote Safety. Intelligent Water Cannon Systems for Vessel Operations.
Marine water cannons play a critical role in a wide range of vessel applications—from firefighting and deck cleaning to dredging support and environmental protection. But manually operated or outdated systems often lead to safety risks, imprecise performance, and inefficient water use.
At Telemation, we specialise in delivering rugged, intelligent water cannon automation and remote control systems for marine environments. Whether retrofitting an existing system or integrating into new vessel designs, our marine-grade automation solutions ensure precision, safety, and long-term performance—on open seas, ports, or offshore platforms.
Why Automate Marine Water Cannons?
Traditional water cannon systems typically require manual operation, limiting responsiveness and endangering personnel in hazardous or high-pressure environments. With our remote control and automation platforms, you gain:
- Precise directional control from a safe distance
- Start/stop functionality with programmable logic
- Real-time pressure, flow, and system diagnostics
- Emergency shut-off and safety interlocks
- System durability under constant vibration, salt exposure, and weather extremes
These upgrades allow vessels to manage on-deck and off-ship tasks more effectively, while reducing operator exposure to danger.
Remote Operation
Operate the water cannon from a central control station, bridge, or mobile remote with industrial-grade wireless transmitters like Tele Radio Panther, Tiger or Puma (TEQ waist).
-
Directional nozzle control (pan, tilt, rotation)
-
Variable pressure and flow settings
-
Instant start/stop capability
-
Range up to 1000+ metres (LOS)
Perfect for firefighting, dredging support, or ship-to-shore operations where operator safety is essential.
Intelligent Pump & Valve Automation
Using rugged EPEC control units, our systems manage pump sequencing and water valve logic based on pre-programmed routines or manual input.
-
Soft-start logic to protect hoses and pumps
-
Flow interlocks to prevent dry-run or overpressure
-
Auto shut-off on pressure spikes or flow failure
-
Custom modes (e.g. cleaning, flushing, or continuous spray)
Real-Time System Monitoring
With HMI displays like the CCpilot VA or VI2, operators can visualise:
-
Pressure and flow levels
-
Valve positions
-
Pump speed and health
-
System faults and alerts
-
Water tank or reservoir status (if applicable)
Displays can be installed at the helm, engine room, or remote control points throughout the vessel.
Built for the Marine Environment
All systems are engineered with marine-grade components that resist corrosion, vibration, and high humidity.
IP-rated enclosures and waterproof connectors
Shock- and vibration-tested control units (EPEC 3610 / 5050)
High-salinity resistance for electronics and wiring
Wireless communication via encrypted, interference-resistant channels
Redundant safety features, including E-stop on remotes and displays
Applications for Marine Water Cannon Systems
We support a variety of water cannon applications across vessel types, including:
-
Dredgers and workboats – Jetting, silt clearing, and pipe flushing
-
Firefighting vessels – Emergency response with remote turret control
-
Ferries and offshore platforms – Deck wash-down and salt removal
-
Tugs and support vessels – Water barrier creation and environmental protection
-
Marine construction – Flushing and cleaning of equipment or barge decks
Our solutions are compatible with hydraulic or electric actuators, single- or multi-nozzle systems, and integrated tank or seawater-fed pumps.
