7. WORK EXECUTION PROCEDURE:

7.1 Sluice Gate Installation Procedure

For installation of sluice gates inside wastewater pump
stations, following steps shall be followed:
Step No. 01- Position the Gate

 Measure inside diameter of pipe or concrete opening

width and height. Record dimension and compare
penstocks opening size. The gate openings should not
be smaller than the mating inside diameter of the pipe or
the concrete opening.
 Carefully lower gate adjacent to the mating surface
using suitable lifting equipment and following all
necessary safety precautions.

Fig. 01: Pre Position the Gates

Step No. 02- Position Anchors

 Align invert of the gate opening with invert of pipe or concrete opening. Place
temporary support blocks under frame to maintain position.
 With a level, ensure that the invert of the gate is level.
 To pre- position, the gate where it will be mounted to
mark holes for anchors. If pre-positioning the gate is not
possible, carefully measure and mark the mounting
surface for holes.

Step No. 03 –Place Anchors

 After Drilling the hole and fixing the anchor bolts with
epoxy chemical, allow 12 hours to set.
 Anchors of any type must be sufficiently long to account
for a grout seal, see #6 below. Fill all mounting holes
with anchors.

Step No. 04- Jam Nut/ Thrust Nut

 After fixation of anchors with chemical, install thrust

nuts on every anchor. Thrust nuts ate meant to
provide an adjustable surface against which the gate
will rest once it is plumb.
 Adjust the nuts at each corner of the gate so the gate
is plumb leaving a minimum 1 inch (25mm) space for
grout between mounting surface and gate.
 Then bring the remaining nuts up snug to the back of
the gate. Re-check for plumb.
Step No. 05- Secure the Gate.

 Place Jam nuts on each anchor and hand tighten to

secure the gate.
 Re-check plumb then firmly tighten jam nuts to Fig. 03: Nut Fixation
permanently secure the gate.
Step No. 06- Install Grout

 Mix a non- shrinking grout and fill the space

between the mounting surface and back of the gate
and all gate surfaces that make a seal, for example
an upper wiper seal across the top of the opening
as shown in Fig 4. It may be necessary to place a
removable form around the grout locations to hold
the grout in place until dry. Make sure there are no
voids in the grout.

Step No. 06- Install Top cover Plate / Pedestals

 Fix the top plate cover on Top slab for support of Fig. 04: Secure Gate with Grout
pedestal using anchor bolts.
 After fixation of rising stem & pedestals, wall bracket shall be installed to support
the alignment of rising stem pipe.

7.2 Basket Screen Installation Procedure

For installation of Basket screen inside wastewater pump stations, following steps shall
be followed:
Step No. 01- Position the Wall Brakets

 All wall brackets should be install at equal spacing to support the guide rail.

 Before make the drill for anchor in wall brackets, re-check the
horizontal distance shall be as per requirement of guide rail.
Step No. 02- Position the Guide Rail

 Minimum two guide rails required for each basket screen.

 Before fixation of guide rail, mark all the position of anchor bolts
locations on base and on top slab.
 Re-check the distance between sluice gate & basket screen to
avoid the clash, before fixation of anchors
 Install the chain Sling hanger at top slab
 Fix the chain sling in basket screen to sling hanger.
