soleira variável

português para inglês Tecn./Engenharia Construção/engenharia civil Brazil
Para este alteamento, o sistema extravasor está sendo alterado de canal a céu aberto para galeria de concreto, com torres de soleira variável a montante, que permitirão melhor controle do N.A. do reservatório e, conseqüentemente, melhor controle da largura da praia.

[...]

O sistema extravasor é concebido para que se possa ter controle e garantir a cota do nível d’água no reservatório e, principalmente, a largura da praia, de fundamental importância para a estabilidade da barragem.

Para tanto, definiu-se que o mesmo será composto por uma galeria de fundo, que passa sob a barragem na ombreira direita, conectando um conjunto de torres na encosta direita do reservatório, distantes da crista da barragem, que operarão com soleira variável, com “stop-logs”, e um canal a jusante, para adução da água extravasada até a barragem 6.

stop-logs

It seems like the answer is in the quoted paragraph itself. I understand "com stop-logs" to be a sort of apposition that explains the previous term ("soleira variável"). If it were a new element, the second preposition ("com") would not make much sense.

apposition defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apposition

"Stoplogs are hydraulic engineering control elements that are used in floodgates to adjust the water level or discharge in a river, canal, or reservoir. Stoplogs are sometimes confused with flashboards, as both elements are used in bulkhead or crest gates. Stoplogs are typically long rectangular timber beams or boards that are placed on top of each other and dropped into premade slots inside a weir, gate, or channel."

variable weir

e.g.,

Variable Weir
A variable crest weir is a dam in which the depth of the notch can be regulated by raising or lowering the crest.
Crest width. The width of the crest of a variable weir is measured in the direction of
flow. The width of a variable weir with stop logs is the width of the stop logs.

Perhaps 'variable spillway' would be better here.
