Penstocks (Sluice Gates)

Penstocks (Sluice Gates)

Reliable Flow Control and Isolation for Water and Wastewater Media

Fibros Penstocks—frequently specified as sluice gates—are engineered for precise flow control and absolute isolation of water, wastewater, and sludge. Designed for installation in open channels, wall openings, and pipe outlets, these massive gates are critical for managing fluid levels across municipal and industrial water infrastructure. Whether isolating a treatment basin or controlling fluid dynamics in large-scale desalination and commercial water projects, our penstocks deliver exceptional leak-tight performance and long-lasting structural durability.
