A penstock or sluice gate door constructed by providing a stack of steel tubes (11) preferably of rectangular cross-section, which are stitch welded together at (12). There are added welded side plates (13), a central stainless steel spindle (14) and bolts (18) for lifting equipment, and the so-formed panel is placed in a mould and encapsulated with an impervious material. If desired side and bottom sealing strips (22, 23, 21) may be integrally formed during encapsulation. The resultant door is lightweight and non-corrodible, and its strength is determined by the wall thickness of the tubes (11) which will be selected accordingly. |
