Bulkheads

Bulk head gates are typically used for dewatering and isolating equipment such as downstream gates, pumps etc.

• Rubber J-seals around the perimeter of the gate control leakage effectively and are hydrostatically energized.
• Bulk head gates seal in one direction. 
• Bulk head gates are typically custom fabricated from steel or stainless steel.
• Designed to be placed in slots or grooved channel walls and are lifted and lowered with overhead or mobile cranes.
• The slots or grooves may be lined or fabricated from steel or stainless steel for ease of insertion and good fit with rubber seals on the bulkhead gate.
• The sill surface may be formed by flat and level concrete invert or with an embedded sill plate.
