FAQ

Q: What is the largest water wheel you can build?
A: We have built water wheels up to 30 meters in diameter. For larger sizes, our engineers can design custom structures with steel reinforcement. Send us your site dimensions and requirements for a feasibility assessment.

Q: Does the water wheel actually rotate and lift water?
A: Yes! Our full-scale water wheels are fully functional. Water-powered wheels rotate from water flow and lift water through scoops. Motorized versions offer adjustable rotation speed for display purposes. We can also build purely decorative static wheels.

Q: What foundation is required for a large water wheel?
A: We provide engineered foundation drawings tailored to your wheel size and site conditions. Typically a concrete base with steel supports, designed for wind loads, seismic activity, and water flow. We can also supply and install the stone or concrete base.

Q: How long does installation take?
A: A standard 3-5m wheel takes 5-10 days to install on-site. Larger wheels (10m+) take 15-30 days depending on size and site conditions. Our team handles all assembly, rigging, and commissioning.

Q: How long does a large wooden water wheel last outdoors?
A: With proper maintenance (annual inspection, re-finishing every 3-5 years), our water wheels last 30-50 years or more. The preservative-treated timber and steel-reinforced structure are designed for long-term outdoor durability.

Q: Can you match a specific historical or regional style?
A: Absolutely. We can replicate water wheels from specific historical periods (Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Qing) or regional styles (northern China, southern China, Japanese, European). Provide reference images and we will match the details.
