This project consists of continued operation of Service Gates 3 and 4 in their current condition with the crack-inherent alloy on the wheel rims will likely eventually result in cracking of the wheel rims. Partial opening of the gates, as practiced in the current operating procedures, places additional stress on the wheel rims and increases the risk of cracking. It is recommended that the welded wheel rims on Service Gates 3 and 4 be replaced with forged wheel rims. The estimated performance period for completion of construction is 540 calendar days from Notice to Proceed (NTP).
