Gates / Barriers

IBS' door constructions are designed in such a way that they enable largely individual adaptation to the opening edge conditions. The following edge parameters can be varied:

• Any opening dimension
• Rotating by up to 180°C
• Singe or double wing
• Sealing on three / four sides; up to 5 m above the water column
• Thrust face / tight end door closing direction
• With / without threshold; without threshold: with manual hydraulic lowering
• Locking with friction locks or single or dual-sided latching mechanism
• Materials S 235 (coating acc. to requirement) or V2A (material no. 1.4301)

For installation in the door frame construction, there should be a space of 150 – 200 mm around the door opening.

Gate constructions such as check/folding/swivel or revolving gates are generally designed and planned individually as special constructions. This naturally results in longer planning and production times. More time is also required for matching and approval. and the scheduling of the components in the production slots of the individual processing centres.

Only embedded systems directly installed on site are appropriate for locations prone to flooding with short warning times, e.g. along side mountain rivers. IBS offers two solution variants for these locations:

When not in use, lift barriers are vertically embedded in the ground. If required, these barriers can either be pulled up with a lifting device (front-end loaders, e.g. tractors, wheeled loaders, excavators, fork lift trucks, etc.) or automatically by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The submersion chamber for the barrier construction must be approx. 1.0 m lower than the required flood height. The clear width of the submersion chamber is approx. 1.0 m.

Contrary to lifting barriers, folding barriers are submersed horizontally in the ground. A lifting device is required for unfolding (front-end loader like those used for lifting barriers). The top of the flaps can be covered (e.g. with paving). This way, the top of the flaps can be accessed by foot / vehicle when folded down.
