Gates & Penstocks
awma’s innovative product range provides the Australian water industry with the most comprehensive selection of water
control 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 SLF
is a positive seal design that has the unique ability to provide an adjustable positive seal to both the vertical and horizontal
faces, 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 is
able 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 open
channel systems for overshot regulation.

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

The Sidewinder Gate is a sideways opening slide gate, ideal for fish ways and areas with restricted head room.
awma also custom design and manufacture:
The Segmented Stopboards are manually operated segments used for flow isolation.
• Bulkheads • Pit Covers
• Trash Racks (both powered and manual) • Telemetry and Metering Systems

Actuators
awma’s penstock range is supported by manual, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and portable actuator systems.

Installation
awma have Australia’s most experienced installation team to ensure your awma product is correctly and efficiently
installed, providing trouble free operation for the life of the asset.

Some of Australia’s most prominent water infrastructure projects have successfully incorporated awma’s products.

Segmented Stopboards

Stopboards are manually operated segments used for


flow isolation.

Traditionally the water industry has experienced many issues with


stopboards, including excessive leakage rates, ragging, silting and
jamming which leads to operational safety issues. In response to these
a
problems, wma has designed segmented stopboards to meet these
needs in the industry and set best practice standards.
Manufactured from marine grade aluminium or stainless steel, the
a wma Stopboards are up to 30% lighter than traditional stopboards.
Lighter and stronger segments coupled with unique plastic side seals
reduce 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 the
stopboards remains watertight up to 1.8 metres of head pressure.
awma Stopboard Lifting Ladders require two operators to manually
install and remove the stopboard segments from the waterway. The
lifting ladders are designed to allow operators to remain in an upright
position and to lift minimal weight, reducing OH&S risks.
A larger range of stopboards is also available for high head applications.
