FRP wicket gates
Wicket gates are movable dams that can be raised and lowered during low water conditions. These gates have been constructed using wood and steel for over a century. Recently the Army Corps of Engineers installed FRP wicket gates in the Illinois River to demonstrate the strength and longevity benefits of FRP over traditional materials.
Advantages Include:
- Significant Cost Savings Over a Lifetime
- Lightweight for Easier Installation and Operation
- Designed to Fit with Existing Interfaces
