    DK 2020 01395 A1 1 Prefabricated water control system Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to prefabricated water control systems. Background of the invention Sluice gates are used selectively to control water flow from one area of a channel to another by opening or closing off the channel to the water flow. The frame/foundation of the sluice gate is cast directly at the application site of the sluice gate. Hence, the construction time is long, as the cement needs to settle and harden before a gate member can be installed therein. The hardening of the cement may be affected by the weather conditions, resulting in a frame/foundation of poor quality and strength. Furthermore, sedimentation prevents the functioning of the sluice gate. A specific problem with such water control systems is that they are difficult to service and time-consuming to replace.
    It is therefore desirable to provide a water control system, which can eliminate some or all of the above problems. Description of the invention One aspect relates to prefabricated water control system comprising: a. a prefabricated element having a shape substantially corresponding to an |- form, an L-form, or an inverted T-form and having a substantially vertical wall component with a front side, a back side, a bottom section, and two side faces, said prefabricated element further comprising: i. afirst opening in said wall component extending from said front side to said back side; and i. atleast one lifting anchor or coupler adapted for receiving a lifting anchor; b. one or more gate members adapted to regulate the size of said first opening in said wall component, thereby regulating the waterflow therethrough; c. two support units each adapted for slidingly supporting one of said side faces of said wall component and for being mounted into the bank of a water canal into which the water control system is positioned; and
    DK 2020 01395 A1 2 d. optionally, a sheet pile wall or a base plate adapted for supporting said bottom section of said wall component.
    The relatively simple shape (I, L, or T) of the prefabricated element combined with the support units allows for a prefabricated water control system that is easy to mount, service, and replace. Preferably, the wall component should be vertical, but it is contemplated within the scope of the invention that the wall element could also be offset with -20 to 20 degrees from vertical, and maybe more.
    A second aspect relates to a prefabricated water control system comprising an |-, L-, or inverted T-shaped prefabricated element, one or more gate members, and two support units.
    In one or more embodiments, the prefabricated element is a pre-cast reinforced concrete element.
    The term “pre-cast” as used throughout this application means the opposite of cast in situ. In other words, the pre-cast reinforced concrete element is finished as finished structures when shipped to a builder or customer, rather than being poured into temporary forms at the building site or place of use.
    As used herein, the term "reinforced concrete" refers to concrete into which reinforcement bars or fibres have been cast to carry tensile loads in order to strengthen a structure that would otherwise be brittle.
    The prefabricated element may also be made of metal, wood, or a castable material. It is to be understood that any suitable castable material, such as cement, mortar, concrete, ceramics, thermoset plastics, and thermoplastics can be used for producing the prefabricated element.
    In the present context, the term “lifting anchor” should be broadly construed to encompass any such device for lifting the frame with or without gate members and actuators installed therein. Alternatively, a coupler adapted for receiving a lifting
    DK 2020 01395 A1 3 anchor is embedded in the frame. The coupler may comprise internal or external threading, depending on the configuration of the lifting anchor. In one or more embodiments, the lifting anchor or coupler adapted for receiving a lifting anchor is mechanically tied into the reinforcing members embedded in the castable material, such as concrete. Suitable examples of gate member(s) may be selected from a turn gate, a tilt gate, a raise gate, a double gate, or the like.
    To further improve the mounting operation, the service operation, and/or the replacement operation, the prefabricated water control system may further comprise a base plate adapted for supporting the bottom section of the wall component. The base plate may preferably be configured with a hole or recess at each side, said hole or recess adapted for receiving one of said support units. This configuration secures that there is sufficient space for the wall component to slidably engage with the support units. Alternatively, the support units may be mounted onto the base plate. When the prefabricated element has an L- or inverted T-shape, the shape is formed by the wall component and a base plate. This base plate may also be configured with a hole or recess at each side, said hole or recess adapted for receiving one of said support units. In one or more embodiments, the support units each comprises a first flange adapted for supporting a part of said front side or back side of said wall component.
    Alternatively, at least one of said support units comprises a first flange adapted for supporting a part of said front side of said wall component, and wherein at least the other support unit comprises a second flange adapted for supporting a part of said back side of said wall component. These configurations allow the support units also to support the wall component in the water flow direction that may come from either direction depending on the water level on both sides of the water control system. Furthermore, the flanges may help directing the prefabricated element into place during the mounting operation.
    DK 2020 01395 A1 4 In one or more embodiments, the bottom section of the wall component comprises one or more channels, and one or more flaps or valves adapted for closing and opening said one or more channels collectively and/or individually. The channels use the water pressure difference across the wall component to flush water through the channels, thereby removing sediments that would otherwise block the functioning of the gate members. In one or more embodiments, the bottom section of said wall component comprises a plurality of channels, and one or more flaps adapted for closing and opening said plurality of channels collectively and/or individually; and wherein said flaps are arranged on a single rotating and/or sliding — shaft.
    In one or more embodiments, the prefabricated element has a shape substantially corresponding to an L-form, or an inverted T-form shaped by said wall component and a base plate (i.e., these two components combine to form the shape), and wherein said base plate comprises air and/or water channels adapted to be connected to a source of compressed air and/or water. Water and/or compressed air may thereby be used to remove sediments blocking the function of the one or more gate members.
    In one or more embodiments, the prefabricated element has a shape substantially corresponding to an L-form, or an inverted T-form shaped by said wall component and a base plate, and wherein said base plate comprises one or more suction channels adapted to be connected to a source of suction. With or without the function of the air/water channels, the suction channels may be used to remove sediments blocking the function of the one or more gate members.
    Another aspect relates to a method for segregating a body of water into two distinct parts with a prefabricated water control system according to the present invention.
    Another aspect relates to a method for segregating a body of water into two distinct parts with a prefabricated water control system comprising the steps of: - sinking a prefabricated water control system according to the present invention at a predetermined location in the body of water, the vertical wall component of the prefabricated element having been chosen so as to have sufficient height to
    DK 2020 01395 A1 protrude above the water level of the body of water after said prefabricated water control system is sunk at its predetermined location; and - building a dam up against the outer face of the support units. This method has a particular advantage over existing methods in that no preliminary dam has to be 5 built, and water pumped out of the area, to secure the location on which the water control sluice gate system is to be build/cast. As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
    Ranges may be expressed herein as from "about" or "approximately" one particular value and/or to "about" or "approximately" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent "about", it will be understood that the — particular value forms another embodiment.
    It should be noted that embodiments and features described in the context of one of the aspects of the present invention also apply to the other aspects of the invention.

The prefabricated element comprises a substantially vertical wall component 107 (Figure 2), and, if L- og inverted T-shaped, also a base plate 108 (best seen in Figures 3 and 4). The base plate 108 may be configured with a hole or recess 109 as exemplified in Figure 3 with an optional part 109 at each side that can be omitted, thereby resulting in the formation of a recess 109. The hole or recess 109 is adapted for receiving one of said support units 103. Figure 5 shows a prefabricated water control system 100 where each support unit 103 comprises a first flange 110 adapted for supporting a part of the front side or back side of said wall component 107, and a second flange 111 adapted for supporting a part of the back side of said wall component 107. A suitable and general example of a support unit could be an H-beam, I-beam, angle beam, T-beam, or the like, preferably made of steel, preferably stainless. Preferably an H-beam. Alternatively, beams with flanges suitable for supporting a part of the back and/or front side of said wall component may be used, preferably made of steel, preferably stainless.
