Thimble-Mounted

What is Thimble-Mounted Water Control Equipment?

Thimble-mounted gates use a fabricated metal thimble to create a reinforced connection point, ensuring high-pressure tolerance and long-term reliability.

 

Benefits of Thimble-Mounted Systems

✅ Increased Stability – Strengthens the connection to surrounding infrastructure.
✅ Ideal for High-Pressure Environments – Handles extreme water forces.
✅ Long-Lasting Performance – Designed for decades of use.

 

Limitations of Thimble-Mounted Systems

⚠ Specialized Installation Required – Must be installed with precise engineering.
⚠ Higher Initial Cost – Due to custom fabrication needs.

 

Industries & Common Uses

✔ Flood control infrastructure – High-pressure flow management.
✔ Large-scale hydropower plants – Efficient water control.
✔ Coastal defense structures – Preventing seawater intrusion.
