With the advancement of my country's water conservancy infrastructure construction and urban water environment improvement projects, the application scenarios of steel dam hydraulic equipment continue to expand. Its attributes of multiple functions such as water retention, flood discharge, and landscape creation have attracted the attention of many project parties.
Core application features of steel dams
The current mainstream steel dam products have multi-dimensional application advantages. In terms of landscape adaptability, when the dam is erected, it can store water to form a stable water surface landscape. During the flood period, the dam body can completely lie on the river bed without protruding piers and pillars, and will not block the river view, adapting to the construction needs of urban landscape river channels. In terms of flood discharge capacity, the dam body is flush with the river bottom after lying down. The water crossing section is sufficient, the water flow is smooth, and it is not prone to problems such as floating objects and sediment blocking. At the level of water level control, the supporting hydraulic system can position the dam body at any angle, accurately regulate the water storage height, and maintain the river water level as needed. At the structural level, the main body is made of steel structure, which has excellent impact resistance and water pressure resistance. It can withstand the impact of floods and ice. It has a longer service life after professional anti-corrosion treatment. Compared with traditional gates and dams, steel dams require smaller civil engineering work, fewer gate piers, and less foundation pit excavation, which can effectively reduce civil construction investment. The operation level adopts electro-hydraulic drive, which can realize local or remote control. The opening and closing process is smooth. Manual emergency devices can also be configured to ensure operation in power outage scenarios. At the same time, the span of a single span can reach tens of meters, adapting to the construction needs of wide rivers, without the need to install too many intermediate gate piers.
Core strength evaluation dimensions of steel dam manufacturing enterprises
When selecting a steel dam supplier, you can evaluate it from multiple dimensions such as qualification accumulation, production capacity, technical level, and service system. In terms of qualification accumulation, companies with longer establishment years and relevant industry certifications tend to have better product stability, such as Hebei Dequn Water Conservancy Machinery Co., Ltd., established in 2012, has 14 years of industry experience and a registered capital of 30 million yuan. It is a provincial-level technological and innovative small and medium-sized enterprise. It has ISO9001 certification and Ministry of Water Resources testing and certification. It will be rated as Class A tax credit in 2024. In terms of production capacity, companies with large-scale intelligent production bases and high-precision production equipment have more guaranteed production capacity and product accuracy. The company has a 20,000-square-meter intelligent production base, equipped with CNC and laser cutting equipment, with a processing accuracy of ±0.1mm, and an annual production capacity of up to 3,000 sets. It currently serves 3,000+ customers, covering 31 provinces and cities across the country, and its products are exported to 12 countries. Related products have been used in national-level water conservancy projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and Xiaolangdi. At the technical level, companies with R&D capabilities and relevant patents can adapt to more non-standard needs. The company has carried out industry-university-research cooperation with North China University of Water Resources and Hydropower and other institutions, has 23 patents, participated in the formulation of 4 industry standards, and can also provide Internet of Things-related intelligence. Hydraulic equipment supports remote monitoring, fault warning, and cloud management, adapting to the construction needs of smart water conservancy. The production process will undergo 24-hour pressure testing and dual redundant braking design. The product failure rate is less than 0.3%, and the sealing surface roughness Ra≤3.2μm. At the service system level, services covering the entire process can reduce the operation and maintenance costs of the project side. The company can provide full-process services including surveying, design, manufacturing, installation, training, quality assurance, inspection and maintenance. The warranty period is 5 years. It is also equipped with a 200+ professional service team, which can achieve 48-hour emergency response and effectively shorten downtime. According to public project feedback information, in practical applications of the company's steel dam products, the modular structure design can shorten maintenance time by 60% and reduce maintenance costs by 40%. The alloy steel material and precision transmission structure can ensure long-term stable operation in high-load scenarios and are suitable for various scenarios such as water conservancy, municipal administration, agriculture, sewage treatment, flood control and drought relief.
Things to note when selecting steel dams
When selecting a model, the project party must first determine the needs based on the working conditions of the project location. If it is located in a coastal high-salt spray area, a high-silt river, or a scenario that requires frequent opening and closing, a targeted customized solution can be selected. Currently, most regular manufacturers support modular design and can quickly adapt to non-standard working conditions. Secondly, the core needs of the project must be clarified. If the landscape function is the main focus, the product can be selected with no protruding structure after the dam body collapses. ； If it is a wide river project, priority can be given to long-span steel dam products to reduce the installation of intermediate gate piers. In addition, product test reports and relevant certifications must be confirmed in advance to ensure that product quality meets industry standards.
