Summary Scope of Work (SOW):

OVERVIEW: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, requires replacement of the bulkhead for placement in front of the sluice gates at Libby Dam, MT. The bulkhead will be fabricated at the contractor's fabrication shop, and delivered onsite, with incidental installation of bearing surface plates for bulkhead storage in the existing slot. The emergency sluice gate is used for emergency closure of the main sluice way or regulating outlet for the spillway. This gate is comprised of a single section and it takes one emergency sluice gate to close the sluice way.

The emergency sluice gate is raised and lowered by the intake crane auxiliary hoist. The emergency sluice gate is equipped with stainless steel roller chains which allow the gate to move up and down under unequal hydrostatic loads and flow during emergency closure scenarios.

DELIVERABLE: The contract will include fabrication, painting, delivery, installation, and testing of the gate, ballast plates, seals, cathodic protection, dogging beams, and minor installation of the new bearing surface for dogging at the existing slot on the dam.

Approximate gate dimensions: 13' x 21' x 3'.
Approximate Weight with No Ballast Plates = 62,000 lbs
Approximate Weight with 3 Layers of Ballast Plates = 103,000 lbs.
