- Both rising and non-rising spindle configurations available
- Custom designed and fabricated to suit any size or shaped orifice
APPLICATIONS
- Full perimeter seal provides excellent sealing performance for applications across all industry sectors.
- Isolation of pipe openings and orifices over 300mm in diameter.
- Dynamic seal up to 10m head pressure (for more than 10m head, please refer to our WLF Penstock)
DESIGN SUPPORT
- AWMA’s design team will provide full support to ensure the most appropriate solution is developed and specified during the preliminary design.
SIZES
- All AWMA water control gates are custom sized to ensure they meet specific site and operational requirements.
- Customisation reduces installation costs.
MATERIALS
- AWMA select materials to meet a minimum design life of 25 years. Where required, AWMA can offer higher grade materials, coatings and protection systems to extend the design life to 100+ years.
- AWMA use ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for penstock door guides and/or wedges to provide maintenance free bearing surfaces.
- Plasticised PVC or EPDM are used for the manufacture of seals. These materials offer superior endurance in wastewater and freshwater applications.
- Materials used for penstock door and frames include marine grade aluminium and grades 304, 316, 2205 and 2507 stainless steel.
- Materials used in the construction of the TLF Penstock range have a high corrosion resistance and can be operated for many years with minimal maintenance.
SEALING
- The sealing ability of this gate exceeds that required by the ‘Australian Technical Specification for Fabricated Water Control Infrastructure’.
MAINTENANCE
- The TLF Penstock range has a minimum 25year design life.
- Minimal maintenance is required offering low “whole of life costs”.
- If required, all the wearing components can be changed, with ease, on site.
QUALITY
- All fabrication is in accordance with the ‘Australian Technical Specification for Fabricated Water Control Infrastructure’.
- All stainless steel welding is continuous to avoid crevice corrosion.
- All procedures are in accordance with AWMA’s accredited ISO 9001 Quality Management System to ensure each gate is manufactured to a high standard, tested and ready for trouble free operation post approved installation.
