This may require the use of a dive team. Depth of water may significant. Contractors can utilize the existing crane that exists at the top of the gatehouse tower. This stop log structure must be moved two times in order to dewater each of the three conduit sections. - Construct some type of crane assembly inside of the gatehouse at the operating level. Use this assembly to disassemble all six hydraulic cylinders, two at a time. Disassemble the gate structure such that the gate leaf stems are separated. Construct a blocking structure to keep the gates themselves in the operating level of the gate tower. Allow Corps employees to conduct a thorough inspection of each gate. - Take all six gate leaf stems to a shop for polishing and honing, two at a time. - Reconfigure all six position indicator rods to be attached to the gate stem extension rods, not the top of the gate itself. - Construct a permanent block to the openings in the gate bonnets where the indicator rods used to move through. - Reassemble all six hydraulic cylinders, once the gate leaf stems are back from their polishing at a shop. Make sure that the gates are correctly assembled, and back into their proper slots. - Replace the hydraulic oil packings, O-rings and gaskets in each cylinder while reassembling. - Replace the sump pump check valve located in the gate chamber. - Remove the stop log structure once all six hydraulic cylinders are re-assembled and placed back in service.
