Stop Log Panels
Stop log systems are modular water control structures that regulate water levels by blocking or allowing flow through a channel or spillway. Individual logs or panels are inserted into guide slots in a concrete structure to temporarily isolate sections of water infrastructure. 
Industrial Timber Products manufactures custom timber stop log panels designed for water management structures including hydroelectric facilities, irrigation systems, hatcheries, and flood control infrastructure.
Timber stop log panels are commonly used where large openings require fast deployment of a single assembled gate rather than installing multiple individual logs.
Stop Log Panels
Timber stop log panels are widely used in water management infrastructure, including:
- Hydroelectric spillways
- Irrigation canals and reservoirs
- Municipal water control structures
- Pump stations and treatment facilities
- Fish hatcheries and waterways
- Flood control systems
These panels allow operators to temporarily isolate equipment or sections of the channel for inspection, repair, or maintenance while the rest of the system remains operational.
