Our Process
Underground Gate Motor Repair Steps
This underground motor had stopped working so the gates were no longer opening and closing.
The motor was housed in a foundation box with blocked drainage so it had been immersed in water.
It was tested and shown to have failed completely.
The old underground motor was removed from the foundation box and the drainage issues were dealt with to prevent the problem from happening again.
The new replacement motor was installed and programmed.
The gate was reconnected to the motor arm and fully tested.
