Introduction: Precision Foundation for Gate Machinery

Lock gate installations demand precise alignment between gates, bearings, and the lock chamber. The bedding compound beneath bearing blocks and embedments determines whether this precision is maintained over decades of operation. FLD’s high-strength epoxy bedding compound for lock gate installations provides the dimensional stability and load capacity that ensures long-term gate performance.

Core Benefits

Precision Alignment Maintenance

Non-shrink, non-creep formulation maintains installed elevations within 0.1 mm, ensuring gate seals engage correctly and operating machinery stays aligned.

Maximum Bearing Capacity

Compressive strength exceeding 100 MPa supports maximum gate thrust loads with substantial safety margin.

Complete Contact

Flowable consistency fills all voids between bearing blocks and foundations, eliminating point loads that cause cracking.

Corrosion Protection

Water-impermeable barrier protects bearing block anchorages from corrosion-inducing moisture.

Key Features

Ultra-High Compressive Strength

100+ MPa strength exceeds concrete and steel bearing capacity, ensuring bedding never limits load transfer.

Dimensional Stability

Zero shrinkage and minimal thermal expansion maintain alignment through temperature cycles.

Fast Installation

Reaches bearing capacity within 24 hours, supporting efficient gate installation schedules.

Proven in Service

Installed in major navigation projects with documented performance history.
