Watertight sliding gates provide reliable protection for passageways and building openings against water ingress during floods and heavy rainfall. They are designed for locations where a watertight barrier must be deployed quickly while maintaining unrestricted access under normal operating conditions. Thanks to their sliding construction and straightforward manual operation, the gates remain permanently ready for use without the need to install additional flood protection elements.
When flooding threatens, the protective covers of the threshold profile and columns are opened, allowing the sliding gate leaf to be moved manually across the protected opening. The gate is then secured using pressure levers.
This straightforward mechanical operating system enables rapid closure of the passageway when flood protection is required.
Watertightness is ensured by a continuous EPDM rubber seal fitted around the perimeter of the sliding gate leaf. By turning the pressure levers, the gate leaf is pressed against the sealing contact surfaces, activating the sealing system and creating an effective barrier against water ingress.
The gate can be locked in both the open and closed positions, ensuring secure operation whether flood protection is required or not.
The sliding rail is integrated into a threshold profile at ground level and protected by a cover designed to withstand vehicle loads of up to 12 tonnes. This allows the passageway to remain fully operational despite the permanently installed flood protection system.
The watertight sliding gate can be equipped with an optional gate leaf housing, designed to protect the gate structure and seals against dirt and other unwanted environmental influences.
This additional protective element helps keep essential components protected while the flood barrier is not in use.
