President Li mentioned all projects designed by Altay Design Institute were pneumatic shield gates and hydraulic lifting dams in the past. After learning HED, President Li firstly highly approve of low-water-head dams of small angle support and hydraulic drive, he admitted HED has the incomparable advantages than pneumatic shield gates and hydraulic lifting dams, for instance, water blocking at any angle/height, controlling with single-fan and multi-fan, arbitrarily adjust the speed of the lifting gate, anti-freezing, drifting and sand discharging, and so on.
