Embedded parts are structural components installed within the slots of hydraulic structure sidewalls to support and guide gates such as slide gates and stoplogs. They ensure proper alignment and smooth operation of the gates. Typical embedded parts include:
Wheel and sliding tracks
Seal seats
Side guides
Counterguides
Concrete edge protectors
Slot linings
These components are installed using a two-stage concrete placement process to ensure precise alignment. They are also designed with features that facilitate effective concrete pouring and vibration, ensuring a solid and reliable installation.
