Steel dam
overview
The steel dam is a novel, beautiful and practical dam type. The gate raises to store water during operation and lowers during flood to discharge the water. The opening angle can be adjusted to control the water level.
Water can flow over the top of the gate creating an artificial waterfall landscape effect. Suitable for gate opening wider (10 to 60 meters) and the operation condition of the water level difference is small (1 to 4 meters).
Applications
-
Steel dams are widely used in rivers and channels. With the improvement of urban construction level in recent years, the landscape effect of steel dam gates has been fully recognised and they are being widely used in urban landscape core areas, high-tech development zones, scenic tourist areas and municipalities engineering.

installation
The steel dam gate is a comprehensive set of equipment with complex structure, numerous fittings and large volume. If it is not disassembled, it cannot be transported to the site. Therefore, each component should be pre-assembled before leaving the factory to find problems in advance and reduce the workload of on-site rework.
​
The installation of the steel dam gate and its embedded parts shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the construction drawings. According to the site conditions, the gate is installed inside the bottom of the gate when installing the gate. Therefore, the bottom gate of each hole is driven to drive the bottom horizontal axis, the bottom joint hinge and the bottom water stop of the horizontal gate, and the bottom shaft drives the horizontal bottom of the gate. After assembling the shaft, the bottom hinge and the bottom water stop, install the assembled door leaf.
Sizing
Steel Dam gate sizing is completely customised to meet the client's requirements.
