Parts Of Dam Structure

Parts of Dam Structure — High-quality components for safe, durable dams

Ensure the stability and safety of your dams with our comprehensive range of Parts of Dam Structure. We supply all the essential components required for constructing and maintaining robust and reliable dams. From foundation materials to spillway gates, our products are manufactured to the highest quality standards. Trust our expertise and extensive inventory to provide you with the parts you need to build and maintain efficient and durable dam structures. Choose us for quality and reliability in every component. BIC mainly works in water conservancy, small-scale hydropower and water treatment fields, capable of undertaking turn-key projects including engineering investigation and design, construction, supervision, consulting and evaluation, monitoring and inspection, installation and commissioning.

Dams are complex hydraulic structures composed of interdependent components. Selecting the right parts for each functional zone — foundation, dam body, spillway, outlet works and control gates — is critical to safety, operational flexibility and lifecycle cost. This product case page describes our parts, their role, and why our parts are the right choice for new builds, rehabilitations and retrofit projects.

Main components we supply

· Foundation & Abutments — Prepared foundations and reinforced abutments ensure stability under static loads and seismic events. Proper foundation treatment reduces seepage and settlement risk.
· Dam Body, Core & Shell Materials — Engineered embankment materials, zoned fills, concrete core walls and membrane layers to manage seepage paths and provide the required structural resistance.
· Drainage & Seepage Control Systems — Internal drains, toe drains, blanket drains and filter systems that collect and safely convey seepage away from the structure.
· Spillways & Gates — Radial gates, vertical lift gates, drum gates, and overflow weirs designed for precise flood control and reservoir regulation. Our gate designs focus on reliable operation, low maintenance and easy retrofit compatibility.
· Outlet Works, Intakes & Penstocks — Intake structures, trashracks, control valves and penstocks sized and fabricated to control release flows for irrigation, environmental releases, and hydropower applications.
· Energy Dissipation & Scour Protection — Stilling basins, baffle blocks, riprap and articulated concrete blocks to protect downstream channels and dissipate hydraulic energy.
· Ancillary Items — Stoplogs, slide gates, hoisting equipment, bearings, seals, access platforms and monitoring sensors.

Technical highlights

· Materials: ASTM / EN / GB compliant steel and concrete mixes, corrosion-resistant coatings and high-performance elastomers for seals and gaskets.
· Capacities: Gate sizes from small sluices to large radial spillway faces; penstock diameters and pressure ratings tailored to site hydraulic loadings.
· Testing: Factory acceptance testing (FAT), non-destructive testing (NDT) and hydrostatic tests performed prior to shipment.
· Documentation: Delivery includes material certificates, machining drawings, installation guidelines and spare parts lists.

Why choose our parts

· Built for durability — engineered to resist wear, corrosion and fatigue from cyclical loading.
· Retrofit-friendly — modular designs and mounting interfaces to simplify upgrades to existing dams without major civil works.
· Comprehensive support — design review, shop fabrication oversight, on-site supervision and scheduled maintenance plans.
· Quality traceability — serialised components, certificates and lifecycle documentation to support asset management programs.
