When 160 metric tons of precision meets technical expertise.
During the modernization work on the Neuwerben flood control structure, our team, in collaboration with Schorisch Magis, successfully completed a demanding task.
The challenge:
Complex gaps between the approximately 24-meter-wide sluice gate and the two gate carriage supports had to be reliably sealed. This is a prerequisite for full-surface, force-fit load transfer.
This is where our gap-filling material “MM1018—The Liquid-Shim®”—came into play. Despite the challenging geometry, our MM1018 casting compound reliably filled all gaps and voids, ensuring precise gap compensation and bringing the sluice gate and trolley supports together.
A particular challenge: The entire structure was too heavy to be lifted by a floating crane. Thanks to the release agent previously applied by Schorisch Magis, the components could be easily separated again after the work was completed, lifted individually, and then reassembled.
Projects like this demonstrate how important the right material solution and close collaboration among all parties involved are. We are pleased to have contributed to the successful implementation of this impressive hydraulic engineering project with our solution, MM1018 – The Liquid -Shim®.
A heartfelt thank you to Schorisch Magis for their trusting and professional collaboration. We look forward to more exciting projects!
