TECHNOLOGY & CONFIGURATION

Gates & flow control

The required function and water levels determine the gate, seals and actuation. Opening geometry, mounting, access and corrosion exposure complete the selection basis.

Isolation & maintenance

Steel sluice gates, copper-sealed cast-iron gates and removable stoplogs.

Level regulation

Overshot and vertically adjustable weir gates control the overflow level.

Backflow protection

Passive flap gates respond to differential water pressure without an external actuator.

PRELIMINARY SELECTION

Define the duty.
Select the configuration.

Published ranges support initial selection. Final equipment, dimensions, materials and performance commitments follow the confirmed project requirements.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you specify.

Are all gates watertight in both directions?

No. Leakage performance and one-way or bidirectional sealing must be specified and verified for the selected gate and test head.

Does a flap gate need power?

A passive flap gate opens and closes with differential water pressure. The hydraulic and closing behavior still require project-specific selection.
