Stop Gate & Lifting Beam
Stop Gates are used to allow dewatering of an intake structure if dry maintenance of plant equipment is critical. Gates may be in sections or full height based on site conditions.
Gates are normally stored in sections above the deck and used when necessary.
Gates may include valves which open with the lifting cycle to allow gravity filling of intake.
Recessed guides and on-seating head creates ideal sealing for dewatering conditions.
Lifting Beams can be provided for automatic engagement / disengagement of gates eliminating the need for divers to attach / detach gate sections. Lifting is via owner’s site or mobile crane.
