Increasing spillway gate reliability through detailed engineering analysis

  • C. Calderaro, L. Millan and D. Erpenbeck
  • Vol. 26 - Issue 6, 2019

Spillway gates demand high reliability for dam operation and regulation. Any modification of dam operating conditions or regulating practices requires a thorough review of the associated equipment. The existing equipment design parameters and any gaps in relation to new conditions need to be reviewed. By using tools that were not available when the equipment was designed, a detailed review of equipment operation can prevent failures and help develop plans for modification, upgrade or inspection.
