  4. Spare Gate System • The spare miter gates are constructed from a set of 8 modules of varying heights. • The modules are stacked to match the height of the service gate they are replacing. • Each set includes the modules to construct a gate for either or both sides and the barge to store them. • The barge includes vacant pads to assemble the gate, store up to two service gates, rigging and bolting required to assemble the gate.

  5. Spare Gate Info • Three Spare Gate Barges with gates are currently in service with one under construction • The two in service and the third under construction are very similar and fit the same locks. • One barge with accompanying gate sections will only fit Locks 19,26, and 27.
