Hydropower project owners are devoting increasing attention to the condition and safety of spillway gates and related equipment. With careful inspection and planning, owners can develop a rehabilitation program that improves gate performance and minimizes cost. The July 1995 failure of a spillway gate at Folsom Dam has spurred increased attention on inspection and rehabilitation of gates. This article explains an approach taken by Northern States Power Company in rehabilitating aged gates at its Wisota Dam project. An update on measures being taken in response to the Folsom Dam incident is also included.
