They enable to overcome the altitude difference of water levels between the incoming and outlet chanel in the range of 16 – 23,3 m. On the above heading are installed segment shutters; the bottom heading is locked with rotating gates. With a huge amount of water, one tail bay is filled up in 18 – 22 minutes to the high of 20 m. The rising water pressure affects the deformations of gates, whose width is 2 metres and weight is 435 tons (http: //mesto.sk, 2004). The previous gate deformation measurements were determined only in some discrete points on the gate. But, no method of deformation measurement on the whole area of the gate at many points was used so far. In the engineering surveying was used a laser scanning technology for the purpose of documentations. In a range of international projects between the Geodesy Institute of Technical University in Munich and the Department of Surveying of Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, an initial practical knowledge the gate deformation measurement of the right tail bay at the Gab ?íkovo Water Work was obtained by using the laser scanning technology (LST). The new laser scanning technology, characterized with the area data acquisition of high density, satisfied the accuracy and the short time of acquisition was used for the first time for a purpose of the gate deformation measurement of TB. The HDS 2500 laser terrestrial scanner fy Leica Geosystems was used with the variantion of the point position determination of 6 mm for the 50 m distance (, 2004). Me
