Abstract:Based on five sluice reconstruction projects of the Yellow River (Yantan, Xinxiezhai, Gaocun, Jiucheng and Yangji) in Heze Municipality, and in accordance with industrial standards such as Technical Specification for Water Seal of Hydraulic Structures (DL/T 5215—2023), this paper systematically analyzes common quality defects and their causes in copper water seal construction. Summarizing practical experience in material control, welding technology, installation & fixation and quality inspection, a full process quality control system covering “material-technology inspection management” is established. Practices show that strict implementation of specifications, enhanced welder training, whole process supervision and scientific inspection can greatly improve construction quality of copper water seal and reduce repetitive work and project cost.
