In the reference 2 nd cited the CE/NTRTGP has

furnished the mechanical designs & drawings of Block out, E.M Parts, gates and roller
assembly for Service and Emergency gates of Scour Sluice @ 0.785 of Nethiguntapalli
balancing reservoir along with copies of approved civil drawings duly requesting approval
from this office. The copies of conditionally approved drawings of Block out & EM parts of
Service and Emergency gates were communicated vide ref 3 rd cited duly requesting to furnish
corrected drawings for according final approval, which are yet to be received.
Now, the design and drawings of Gate of Service gate
&roller Assembly are examined with respect to the vetted civil drawings and the conditionally
approved Service gate emparts drawings and the following is submitted for favour of CE’s
kind perusal and approval.
The sill level of Gate is +746.0 M and FRL is +775.0M and MWL is +776.50M.
The Gate is designed for FRL condition. As the head of water is 29 m, the Gates are designed
as Medium head fixed wheel gates. The Scour Sluice @ Km 0.785 of Nethiguntapalle
Balancing Reservoir consists of one No.each of Service Gate & emergency gate. The Hoist
Bridge level is tentatively modified as +782.0M against the proposed level of+781.0M.
The groove size is worked out as 750X600 mm duly providing offset of 60mm on
D/S side of groove as per IS:9349 for both emergency and service gates.
Design:
The total thrust on the gate is worked out to 326T. The Service gate, proposed with one
element and with two horizontal girders and four rollers. The gate is proposed with d/s skin
plate and d/s side sealing, is verified.
HORIZONTAL GIRDERS,SKIN PLATE,VERTCALS:
The Proposed Built up girder Web 560mm X 25mm & Flanges of
350mmX30mm, 300mmX25mm & 250mmX30mm for horizontal girders are verified. The
proposed skin plate with 25mm thickness and vertical stiffeners of size 400mm x12mm spaced
at 350 mm intervals indicated in the drawing are verified. The gates are provided with Teflon
Cladded Bulb Seal of size 44Ø for side and top seals and flat rubber for bottom seals. Any
damage to the Teflon Cladding may results higher lifting efforts. As such, the field authorities
may be informed to be careful while execution, operation & maintenance of seals.
.ROLLER, BEARING, PIN & END BOX:-
The Proposed roller of Ø500mm & 180 mm width (material: Carbon
Cast Steel IS:1030 Gr 340-570W is examined and roller material is modified with IS:2707
GrII), The proposed roller pin of Ø160 mm (with material 20Cr13 IS: 1570 part V) , roller
supporting plates of size 645mm x 24mm are verified. The proposed bearing SKF No.
23132CC(ID: 160Ø, OD: 270Ø and Width:86mm) is examined and modified with bearing
No. 24132CC (ID: 160Ø, OD: 270Ø and Width:100mm) .
TEFLON CLADDING ON RUBBER SEALS:
The fabrication of Teflon cladding for the rubber seals shall be done properly,
otherwise it results in “peeling-off” of Teflon cladding and the rubber will have direct contact
with seal track; which will increase the seal friction abnormally, and affects the lifting
capacity of hoist mechanism, drastically. And while lowering, for self-closing of gate also it
requires additional effort in the form of ballast, resulting in operational failure of the gate. As
such necessary care shall be taken by the field officers to fabricate the Teflon cladding seals
perfectly by providing with sufficient anchorages, for ensuring trouble free operation of gate.
Factors to be considered by the field officers / agency for fixing of Teflon cladding to
rubber seals.
1. Necessary care shall be taken by the field authorities for the qualitative fixing of Teflon
cladding over rubber seal, duly providing with sufficient anchorages.
2. After erection of the gates, while in trial runs (including light test & water jet tests) the
field officers shall carefully observe the working of seals and it should be immediately
rectified if any deviations are found for avoiding the above effects.
Subject to compliance of the above observations, the
following 3No’s of drawings pertaining to Service gate and roller assembly are verified and
corrected in view of modifications as discussed above, indicated in the drawings are here with
put up for conditional approval.
Drawings:
1. Drawing No: KALETIVAGU RESERVIOR/OFF TAKE SLUICE@KM 0.100/LAYOUT/
01/2022 showing the details of General plan of Block out and E.M. parts for Service gate.
2. Drawing No: KALETIVAGU RESERVIOR/OFF TAKE SLUICE@KM 0.100/SG/EMP/

5. Drawing No: KALETIVAGU RESERVIOR/OFF TAKE SLUICE@KM 0.100/ 08/2022
showing the details of Block out & Embedded parts for Emergency gate.
Further, it is submitted that the fouling of rope is observed when the gate is resting on sill
as per General arrangement drawing. As such the proposed C/C of lifting as 3500mm is
modified to 2100mm to avoid fouling of rope. Hence CE/NTRTGP may be requested to
revise the hoist &hoist bridge duly considering C/C of lifting as 2100mm and to furnish
the revised designs and drawings of hoist & hoist bridge of Service gate along with
revised general arrangement drawing at the earliest for according approval.
Extra notes regarding material specifications are mentioned in the drawings.

Further, it is informed that the suitability of these drawings with respect to the field conditions
shall be ensured by the field authorities of the project before fabrication, erection and
execution. If there is any deviation, it needs revision and same is to be referred to CDO
On approval, the copies of above 3Nos. of conditionally approved drawings
will be communicated to the CE/NTRTGP with a request to furnish two sets of Service gate
& roller assembly drawings along with a soft copy in AUTOCAD format duly incorporating
the corrections indicated in the drawings for taking further necessary action.
Subject to orders, a draft letter addressed to the CE/NTRTGP the above lines
along with copies of conditionally approved drawings is put up for approval.
