Spill-gate Stoplog Jammed in Slot
Date of Incident: 1 December 2022
Description:
During the routine process of removing 1 of the 8 Spillway stoplog sections from Clyde spillway gate 3, stoplog section No 3 pitched up at one end and jammed in the guides as it exited the water. The sound of the crane motor load increasing alerted the dogman/operator that something was wrong, and the lift was immediately stopped. This resulted in the stoplog becoming bent and damaged at teh left bank end.
