 Types of gates

 Fixed wheel gate

 Radial gate
 Stop logs / Bulk head gate
 Fixed wheel gate
 The fixed wheel gate or roller gate is the most
used type of hydraulic gate, because its field of
application is very large:
 Sliding Gates have similar functions as fixed
wheel gate but without wheels.
 Fixed wheel gate
 it can be used in
 water intakes
 draft tubes,
 bottom outlets,
 as canal lock doors
 structure of regulation in surface
spillways.
 Fixed wheel gate
 The main application of the fixed wheel
gates,
 application need
 protection elements,
 capable of closing by gravity
 regardless of the conditions of the flow.
 Fixed wheel gate

 Steel wire rope hoists are sometimes also adopted for

operating the fixed wheel gates, but this is a
solution less used as it incurs very high maintenance
costs.
 Sliding Gates have similar functions as fixed wheel
gate but without wheels.
 • Radial gates


Radial gates
 Radial gates are mostly used to
 control the water level retained by dams
or inside channels.
 spillways on large dams /bottom
discharges.
 river equipment (ship locks)
Radial gates
 In some cases, a flap is installed on the
upper part of the radial gates in order to
enable a more precise regulation of the
water level or to pass floating debris. As
such, the water can pass over the top of
the gate.
Radial gates
 Its surface can have outstanding
dimensions (400 sqm. or more(.
Radial gates
 The radial gates are made as a welded construction.
 The gate component is:
 gate leaf consists of
 skin plate (made up of several curved elements
corresponding to the required curvature of the whole
gate and is reinforced with horizontal and vertical
stiffeners.(
 arms.
Radial gates

 trunnions. The rotation of the gate around the axis is

guaranteed by the trunnions. The trunnion axles are
made of hard chrome or stainless steel and supported
by self-lubricating bronze bushings. The trunnion
brackets are anchored to the piers by means of steel or
prestressed concrete beams.
Radial gates
 The gate sealing is made by means of rubber
joints assembled in the structure of the gates
and, it acts against the stainless steel
embedded parts.
 The embedded parts incorporated in the piers
consist of curved lateral seal beams and a sill
beam.
 The gates are opened and closed by means of
one or two servomotors fed by a pressurized
hydraulic circuit or, alternatively, by
electrically operated winches.
• Stoplogs
Stoplogs
 Stoplogs are welded steel structures designed
to close the water intake openings, or to
isolate parts of water channels, mainly for
purposes of inspection and maintenance of
the respective control equipment, located
downstream.
 According to the structure type, the stoplogs
may be classified as:
 Surface stoplogs
 Deep sluice stoplogs
 Depending on the height, the stoplogs may be
supplied in one or more units resting on each
other.
Stoplogs
 The stoplogs are operated by a moving
gantry crane / a mobile crane or
equivalent equipment with the help of
a grappling beam (fishing beam(
 The grappling beams are fitted with a
mechanism that automatically engages
and disengages the stoplog elements.
Stoplogs

 The operation of raising or lowering a

stoplog element from or into its groove is
always performed in balanced water
conditions (same water level upstream and
down-stream of the stoplog(
 If there are many element collected
together by joint plates and pins then they
can named Bulk head gates

• Gate operating system
 The operating system is composed of
 servomotor,
 hydraulic power unit,
 oil piping,
 position indicator
 and electric control panel for command
and signaling.
• trashracks
• Trashracks
 • Trashracks ‫الشبك الواقي‬
 Protecting the water intakes, channels, penstocks, galleries and other
types of hydraulic structures against the inlet of debris, of vegetation,
urban or industrial trash, is achieved by the use of Trashracks.
 The Trashracks
.
are a welded construction comprising of panels formed by
a set of parallel bars, equally spaced at a distance defined by the charge
load, permissible vibration level and flow conditions. These bars are
fixed to a support structure, which are either embedded in the concrete
or movable.
 • Trashracks ‫الشبك الواقي‬

 There are two types of trashracks:

 Fixed trashracks, bolted to steel pieces
embedded in the concrete around the sluice
 Removable trashracks, operated by a crane
using a grappling
 The accumulation of debris over a period of
time onto the trashracks obstructs the free
flow discharge, thereby causing the increase in
the head losses.
 ‫ كرين نظافة الشبك الواقي‬Trashracks cleaning machine

 To clean the trashrack is a critical operation that

may be automated by a trashrack cleaning machine.
 The trashrack cleaning machines may be
 of fixed type, serving only one clearance;
 or of movable type, cleaning multiple racks along
the intake.
 The operation of a trashrack cleaning machine may
be
 manual,
 semi-automatic
 or with different degrees of automation according
to customer’s requirements
