Definitions

  • the present invention relates to prefabricated water control systems.
  • Sluice gates are used selectively to control water flow from one area of a channel to another by opening or closing off the channel to the water flow.
  • the frame/foundation of the sluice gate is cast directly at the application site of the sluice gate.
  • the construction time is long, as the cement needs to settle and harden before a gate member can be installed therein.
  • the hardening of the cement may be affected by the weather conditions, resulting in a frame/foundation of poor quality and strength.
  • sedimentation prevents the functioning of the sluice gate.
  • a specific problem with such water control systems is that they are difficult to service and time-consuming to replace.
  • EP3199706 discloses a pre-fabricated water control sluice gate system comprising a first frame, a lifting anchor or coupler adapted for receiving a lifting anchor, one or more sluice gate members, and an actuator adapted for moving the sluice gate members.
  • One aspect relates to prefabricated water control system comprising:
  • the prefabricated water control system further comprises a sheet pile wall or a base plate adapted for supporting said bottom section of said wall component.
  • the relatively simple shape (I, L, or T) of the prefabricated element combined with the support units allows for a prefabricated water control system that is easy to mount, service, and replace.
  • the wall component should be vertical, but it is contemplated within the scope of the invention that the wall element could also be offset with -20 to 20 degrees from vertical, and maybe more.
  • the prefabricated element is a pre-cast reinforced concrete element.
  • pre-cast as used throughout this application means the opposite of cast in situ.
  • the pre-cast reinforced concrete element is finished as finished structures when shipped to a builder or customer, rather than being poured into temporary forms at the building site or place of use.
  • reinforced concrete refers to concrete into which reinforcement bars or fibres have been cast to carry tensile loads in order to strengthen a structure that would otherwise be brittle.
  • the prefabricated element may also be made of metal, wood, or a castable material. It is to be understood that any suitable castable material, such as cement, mortar, concrete, ceramics, thermoset plastics, and thermoplastics can be used for producing the prefabricated element.
  • lifting anchor should be broadly construed to encompass any such device for lifting the frame with or without gate members and actuators installed therein.
  • a coupler adapted for receiving a lifting anchor is embedded in the frame.
  • the coupler may comprise internal or external threading, depending on the configuration of the lifting anchor.
  • the lifting anchor or coupler adapted for receiving a lifting anchor is mechanically tied into the reinforcing members embedded in the castable material, such as concrete.
  • Suitable examples of gate member(s) may be selected from a turn gate, a tilt gate, a raise gate, a double gate, or the like.
  • the prefabricated water control system may further comprise a base plate adapted for supporting the bottom section of the wall component.
  • the base plate may preferably be configured with a hole or recess at each side, said hole or recess adapted for receiving one of said support units. This configuration secures that there is sufficient space for the wall component to slidably engage with the support units.
  • the support units may be mounted onto the base plate.
  • the prefabricated element has an L- or inverted T-shape, the shape is formed by the wall component and a base plate.
  • This base plate may also be configured with a hole or recess at each side, said hole or recess adapted for receiving one of said support units.
  • the support units each comprises a first flange adapted for supporting a part of said front side or back side of said wall component.
  • at least one of said support units comprises a first flange adapted for supporting a part of said front side of said wall component
  • at least the other support unit comprises a second flange adapted for supporting a part of said back side of said wall component.
  • the bottom section of the wall component comprises one or more channels, and one or more flaps or valves adapted for closing and opening said one or more channels collectively and/or individually.
  • the channels use the water pressure difference across the wall component to flush water through the channels, thereby removing sediments that would otherwise block the functioning of the gate members.
  • the bottom section of said wall component comprises a plurality of channels, and one or more flaps adapted for closing and opening said plurality of channels collectively and/or individually; and wherein said flaps are arranged on a single rotating and/or sliding shaft.
  • the prefabricated element has a shape substantially corresponding to an L-form, or an inverted T-form shaped by said wall component and a base plate (i.e., these two components combine to form the shape), and wherein said base plate comprises air and/or water channels adapted to be connected to a source of compressed air and/or water. Water and/or compressed air may thereby be used to remove sediments blocking the function of the one or more gate members.
  • the prefabricated element has a shape substantially corresponding to an L-form, or an inverted T-form shaped by said wall component and a base plate, and wherein said base plate comprises one or more suction channels adapted to be connected to a source of suction. With or without the function of the air/water channels, the suction channels may be used to remove sediments blocking the function of the one or more gate members.
  • Another aspect relates to a method for segregating a body of water into two distinct parts with a prefabricated water control system according to the present invention.
  • Another aspect relates to a method for segregating a body of water into two distinct parts with a prefabricated water control system comprising the steps of:
  • prefabricated water systems 100A, 100B The following description is to be seen as non-limiting examples of prefabricated water systems 100A, 100B according to various embodiments of the present invention.
  • the prefabricated water system 100A to the left shows a prefabricated water control system with a double gate 150 in accordance with various embodiments of the invention.
  • the prefabricated water system 100B to the right shows a prefabricated water control system with a turn gate 120 in accordance with various embodiments of the invention.
  • the prefabricated water control system 100 comprises an I-, L-, or inverted T-shaped prefabricated element 101, one or more gate members 120, 140, 150 ( Figures 1 , and 8-11 ), two support units 103 ( Figures 1 , and 5 ), and optionally, but preferably, a sheet pile wall 104 ( Figures 1 , 5 , and 7 ), or a base plate 106 ( Figure 6 ).
  • the prefabricated element comprises a substantially vertical wall component 107 ( Figure 2 ), and, if L- og inverted T-shaped, also a base plate 108 (best seen in Figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the base plate 108 may be configured with a hole or recess 109 as exemplified in Figure 3 with an optional part 109 at each side that can be omitted, thereby resulting in the formation of a recess 109.
  • the hole or recess 109 is adapted for receiving one of said support units 103.
  • Figure 5 shows a prefabricated water control system 100 where each support unit 103 comprises a first flange 110 adapted for supporting a part of the front side or back side of said wall component 107, and a second flange 111 adapted for supporting a part of the back side of said wall component 107.
  • a suitable and general example of a support unit could be an H-beam, I-beam, angle beam, T-beam, or the like, preferably made of steel, preferably stainless.
  • a support unit could be an H-beam, I-beam, angle beam, T-beam, or the like, preferably made of steel, preferably stainless.
  • beams with flanges suitable for supporting a part of the back and/or front side of said wall component may be used, preferably made of steel, preferably stainless.
  • FIG. 1 A specific example of a turn gate 120 may be seen in Figures 1 and 8.
  • Figure 8 shows a prefabricated turn gate 120 mounted in a prefabricated frame 121 and mounted in two bearings 130.
  • the turn gate 120 also comprises a prefabricated mounting 122 adapted for fastening to the wall component 107 and for supporting the frame 121.
  • Figure 9 shows a prefabricated gate member in the form of a tilt gate 131 and comprising two bearings 130 for mounting the tilt gate 131 on the wall component 107.
  • the tilt gate 131 can be mounted on all four sides of the opening 105, such that it either close from the side, the top, or the bottom.
  • Figure 10 shows a prefabricated gate member in the form of a sliding gate 140.
  • the sliding gate 140 is mounted in a frame 141 adapted for mounting in the opening 105, or alternatively, in front of, or behind the opening 105.
  • Figure 11 shows a prefabricated gate member 150 in the form of a double port gate 150.
  • a prefabricated mounting 151 is used for mounting the double port gate 150 to the wall component as well as for defining a bottom in said double port gate 150.
  • Each gate is mounted in bearings 130 for opening and closing the gates.
  • Figure 12 shows a prefabricated element having an inverted T-shape in accordance with various embodiments of the invention, and where the base part of the wall component 107 comprises five (i.e., multiple) channels, and a single flap adapted for closing and opening the channels collectively.
