There are two sets of miter gates with each set consisting of two miter gate leaves (right hand and left hand). One set will be the downstream gates and one set will be the upstream gates. The gates will be constructed using various sizes of steel shapes and steel plate. The majority of the steel items will conform to ASTM A-572 grade 50 and ASTM A709/A709M Grade 50F, Zone 2. In addition, there are several stainless steel items including contact blocks and seal plates. Connections will be accomplished by a combination of welding and bolting.
