Provide a new segmental Bulkhead Assembly that is used to block water from flowing through the tainter gate bays while the tainter gates are being serviced or inspected. The Bulkhead Assembly is comprised of six individual 51-foot-long hollow steel tubular segments, which are assembled in the reservoir to create a single bulkhead. The assembled floating bulkhead will be ballasted with water using mechanical pumps and rotated to a vertical orientation for placement against the tainter gate piers.

Provide a crane pad to allow for closer access to the lake for deployment and retrieval of the segmental bulkhead.

The Bulkhead can be assembled and disassembled in the water. Bulkhead segments can be removed and stored out of the water when not in service.

The work includes the fabrication, shipment, field assembly, testing of a segmental bulkhead and incidental related work, and the construction of a crane pad.
