Requirements: This project involves the fabrication and delivery of new bolted Tainter gates for Lock and Dam 21. The work includes the off-site fabrication of four (4) Tainter gates, measuring approximately 20 feet high by 64 feet long, which are comprised of cold-rolled shapes and welded assemblies. These welded assemblies must comply with AWS D1.1 standards and are designed without fracture-critical members to enhance structural reliability. This new design utilizes a bolted-erection design to facilitate truck shipping of subassemblies to an offsite location for final assembly, allowing for fabrication by facilities with limited crane capacity. Final delivery to the project site is required via barge. This
