Since this is an email submission, does that still apply? N/A We do still need the net head range for the gates. Or if we can get the highest possible net head that would work for the design. We cannot design the new gates without this information and cannot bid this job. Can you please try and get this information so we can get together a design and bid this job? The Net Head Range for the Penstock Gates will require to be Medium-Head Systems because IBWC systems generally operate with head differences between 10 and 40 meters. Current IBWC Penstock gates for these applications would need to withstand medium pressures than low-head systems. 8/19/2025 - Add attachment: "Stop Logs Closure Extra Drawings" 8/20/25 - Add updtated SF 1442 191BWC25R0004 form - page 1.
