lowering of stop logs in the grooves.
Subsequently three sets of grooves
out of eight were rectified and the
operation of stop logs in these
grooves was possible. However, the

It has been observed that there are
many problems associated with the

cables, starters, volt meter, Ampere

It is therefore very urgent to chip off the excess 2nd
stage concrete from the stop log gate grooves in the
balance five bays. The underwater concrete cutting
may be carried out wherever it is not possible to
ensure dry area above the stop log sill. This may be
taken up on priority basis.
It is strongly recommended that necessary
rectification may be carried out in the gate groove to
lower stop log on the upstream of the radial gates

the vital components.

Line for supply of power to the project site. Action
may also be taken for installation of a standby DG
set.
These items should be repaired / replaced
immediately before monsoon so that all the gates are
operational.
Action should be taken to seal the leakage by
carrying out epoxy grouting or cement mixed with
quick setting admixture or any other suitable
compounds.
The structural components like HR gates need
painting. Routine lubrication of the moving parts of
the gates and the hoisting arrangements should be
carried out periodically as per norms.

upstream of the d/s parapet wall and second at the
