Orkot "TLM Marine" was se- lected for heal post sealing on a new set of lock gates, and as replacement seals on the existing gates. Orkot TLM Marine is a non-asbestos compos- ite reinforced with woven textile and is a special development by Orkot Limited of Rotherham. TLM Marine was selected reportedly because of its low friction in water and high compressive loading capabilities. The lock at Portbury Dock is the largest in Europe, 140 feet wide and nearly 1,200 feet long. There are six gates in three sets, each gate weighing 490 tons. Each gate heel post is covered by Orkot TLM Marine bearing segments, against stainless steel bearing faces built into the dock wall. Orkot TLM Marine can be supplied, ex- stock, in standard tubes from 50mm to 800mm diameter for machining to size. Orkot Ltd. has been in business since 1955, and its U.S.-based sister company, Orkot U.S.A., in business since 1990, has the same capabilities and resources.
