    Gates & Penstocksa w mas innovative product range provides the Australian water industry with the most comprehensive selection of watercontrol infrastructure to suit all applications.

    The LF (Lock Fast) series is a range of custom designed slide gates in varying configurations to suit industry applications.

    The LF Series consists of:

    SLF (Seal Lock Fast) penstock is the most popular design for isolation. Manufactured in a wide range of sizes, the SLFis a positive seal design that has the unique ability to provide an adjustable positive seal to both the vertical and horizontalfaces, whilst still providing a flush sill.

    ULF (Undershot Lock Fast) penstock is an undershot regulating slide gate for control of water flow to design level.Available in a wide range of custom built sizes and configurations, including the round bottom undershot design that isable to seal on a benched profile.

    WLF (Wedge Lock Fast) penstock is a wedge sealing design suited to large penstocks. Able to withstand up to 20m head.

    DLF (Decant Lock Fast) penstock is a decant penstock for a downwards opening weir style gates.

    The LF series is complimented by a selection of purpose designed control gates including:

    The LayFlat (Drop Leaf) Gate is often referred to as a tilt or drop leaf gate, commonly used in openchannel systems for overshot regulation.

    The Head and Discharge Weir Gate range allows regulation of flow and level, both over and under thegate leaf.

    The Sidewinder Gate is a sideways opening slide gate, ideal for fish ways and areas with restricted head room.

    a w ma also custom design and manufacture:

    The Segmented Stopboards are manually operated segments used for flow isolation.

    a w mas penstock range is supported by manual, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and portable actuator systems.

    Segmented Stopboards

    Traditionally the water industry has experienced many issues withstopboards, including excessive leakage rates, ragging, silting andjamming which leads to operational safety issues. In response to theseproblems, a w ma has designed segmented stopboards to meet theseneeds in the industry and set best practice standards.

    Manufactured from marine grade aluminium or stainless steel, thea w ma Stopboards are up to 30% lighter than traditional stopboards.Lighter and stronger segments coupled with unique plastic side sealsreduce the lifting force and associated OH&S risks.

    Two or three stopboard segments are utilised per installation, depending

    on the height required. A unique rubber sealing mechanism ensures thestopboards remains watertight up to 1.8 metres of head pressure.

    a w ma Stopboard Lifting Ladders require two operators to manuallyinstall and remove the stopboard segments from the waterway. Thelifting ladders are designed to allow operators to remain in an uprightposition and to lift minimal weight, reducing OH&S risks.

    A larger range of stopboards is also available for high head applications.

    Actuation Systems

    a w ma will design turn-key

    actuation systems to suit ourcustomers requirements.

    MANUAL ACTUATION

    Manually operated gates andpenstocks can be designedwith several actuation options,depending on the application.Manually operated gates/penstocks may be suppliedwith either a fixed hand wheelfor above ground applicationsor a removable T-handlefor below ground or pitapplications.

    ELECTRIC ACTUATION

    Operation of an electricactuator is simple andstraight forward providing theinstallation and commissioningrecommendations have beencarried out correctly.Actuator selection isdetermined by a w ma or clientafter revision of the projectspecifications.

    a w ma specialise in solarpowered actuation systemsbut also supply mains poweredactuators.

    RISING SPINDLES
