Ocean City WWTP – Headworks Sluice Gate & Equipment Repairs

Johnston Construction Company

• Johnston Construction Company served as Prime Contractor for repair work at the Ocean City Wastewater Treatment Plant headworks facility.
• Removed and replaced two failed sluice-gate operator support brackets associated with the existing headworks gate equipment.
• JCC coordinated a Rotork service technician to inspect and adjust gate travel after the existing gate was determined to be over-torquing during the closing cycle.
• Installed specially fabricated structural support brackets designed for loads of up to approximately 8,000 pounds.
• The replacement brackets incorporated a ¾-inch A36 steel top plate and ½-inch gussets, with the assemblies bolted to the existing structure.
