Armtec - Water Control Gates
Armtec is an industry leader in water control gates for wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plants, and irrigation and flood control projects. Thousands of customers globally can attest to the high quality of Armtec’s gate products.
Water control gates control the flow of water from point to point in open channel situations. We offer a variety of flap gates, sluice gates, slide gates, overshot gates, radial gates and roller gates to meet specific needs. Gate systems include manual or power operating systems, stems, accessories and, in some cases, automation packages for operating the gates.

Durable end-finishes for drainage and stormwater systems
Durable
Made from precast concrete, composite reinforced polymer or steel sheeting
Versatile
Can be used with multiple pipe structures
Fast and easy installation
Prefabricated or easily constructed on-site
Combines the lightweight properties of plastic with the strength of concrete
Lightweight
Typically 10% of the weight of concrete headwalls, ideal for weak subgrades
Fast and easy installation
No grout system, easily moved by hand or on-site equipment
Environmental benefits
Fish-friendly, non-leaching materials
An environmental solution to enable fish to get upstream for spawning
Minimizes ecosystem disruptions
Used when urban development encroaches on the natural habitat
Wide range of lifting devices for water control gates
Variety
From handwheel lifts to electrically operated units with torque and limit switches or hydraulically actuated cylinders
Quality
Enclosed cast iron housings, mechanical seats, precisioncut gears, anti-friction ball or roller bearings
Easy and economical way to control flow in a channel
Easy to handle
Lightweight, aluminum, stainless steel or carbon steel construction
Stackable
Log heights in 152mm increments or custom heights, can be stacked for equipment isolation
Versatile sizing
Custom widths to suit project needs
Separate cast piece forms an opening in a wall structure for mounting gates
Simplifies gate installation
Thimble is positioned into the wall before the concrete is poured, eliminates need for cast-in-place anchor bolts
Minimizes distortion
Provides a rigid, accurate mounting surface for the gate
Easy gate removal
Gates can be easily removed and transferred for cleaning and painting
An economical way to divert water in rectangular channels
Corrosion resistant
Aluminum frame, slide and reinforcing components
Embedded and surfacemounted frames
Extruded metal section embeds in side walls or is mounted on the face of the rectangular flume or conduit
Large steel gates shut off water flow to permit emergency maintenance or equipment repairs
Tight leakage control
Rubber seals around the perimeter of the gate control leakage
Versatile
Can be used in multiple locations and removed completely for storage
Stackable
Stacking gates permits flow control for larger openings
Lightweight, economical gate designed for wide, unobstructed waterways
Minimal hoist effort required
Can be opened and closed with minimal effort
Quality construction
Consists of a curved gate leaf, rubber seals, support arms, seal rubbing embedments and embedded pivot points
Selection
Overflow and breastwall types available, wide range of sizes
Used to control flow in open channels and closed conduits
Compact design
Requires less than one-half of the overhead operating clearance needed for a slide gate
Easy to operate
90° turn to go from fully open to fully closed
Simple installation
Jack bolt mounting, can be installed after the channel is completed
Used for flow control in applications where water flows over the slide
Specialized application
Enables flow to be measured and ensures a constant upstream water elevation
Stainless steel
High corrosion and erosion resistance, can be made in many shapes
Self-adjusting seals
Provide low leakage rate and consistent sealing performance
Designed to control flow through large waterway openings
Quality construction
Consists of a fabricated steel slide with cast iron rollers and rubber seals
Minimum friction
Lower friction resistance in opening and closing than sliding surfaces
Versatile
Range of sizes, finishes, overflow or breastwall style
Designed for exceptional low leakage in corrosive environments
Stainless steel
Frame, slide, stem and fasteners are stainless steel type 304 and 316
Low leakage seal
Ultra-high molecular weight polymer molded seal provides low leakage and ensures smooth operation
Control water flow through openings for seating or unseating head
Precision seating face
Machined bronze or stainless surfaces provide a precision seating face, low leakage rate and consistent sealing performance
Range of openings
Square, rectangular and round flange openings available
Act as natural skimmers of debris such as branches, logs and trash
Open and close automatically
Allows discharge and prevents backflow without mechanical lifting devices
Double hinge action
Ensures proper seating of the flap against the frame
Adjustable top pivot points
Optimizes gate action and sealing
High-quality, cost-effective gates for low head applications
