STOPGATES

Restraining seawater to enable essential plant maintenance

For use within power stations and water treatment plants, these stopgates temporarily withhold water to the plant where maintenance is required. The images to the right show the varying sizes in which the stopgates are made, from 1.5m to 5m wide. As personnel work behind these stopgates when they are in position they are regarded as a safety device, therefore they have to meet very high manufacturing standards and tight tolerances.
