MILTON OUTLET WORKS <br />BACKGROUND <br />The outlet works at Milton Dam consist of two (2) 48-inch diameter conduits located near <br />the middle of the main earthfill embankment. The conduits are partially concrete encased <br />cast iron pipes. Joints are bell and spigot with the bell sections installed facing upstream. A <br />portion of the downstream section of each of the conduits has been lined with a 44-inch <br />diameter steel pipe that was grouted in place. These 44 inch steel conduit sections were <br />added shortly after initial construction of the dam to mitigate cracks that developed in the <br />48 inch cast iron conduit. Flow through the conduits has recently been controlled at the <br />downstream end by circular, bonneted cast iron sluice gates. Flap gates are in place at the <br />upstream end of the conduit for emergency operations, but are not able to control flows as <br />desired. The conduits discharge downstream to the Gilmore Canal. <br />Figure 2- Milton Outlet Works Schematic <br />eacm.~. pF,>r.:s. <br />6 <br />
