Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winfield lockage facilities currently consist of two 360-ft x 56-ft chambers with a normal lift of 28 ft. With the increasing traffic on the Kanawha River, these facilities are no longer adequate to serve the towing industry using this portion of the inland waterway system. Excessive delays now occur at Winfield and if the predicted traffic growth materializes during the next 10 or 15 years without action being taken by the Corps to address the problem, transfers of traffic movements to other more costly modes of transportation will result. Accordingly, studies were conducted to determine the capacity of the existing lockage facilities and to evaluate possible solutions for increasing this capacity through the use of alternative operating policies and rules that have been considered to be beneficial at other lock sites. Using the two simulation models, TOWGEN and WATSIM IV, the following four alternative operating policies were simulated to determine their respective effects on the capacity of Winfield and the delays to be expected should such policies be possible:--(a). first In-First Out (FIFO) Unrestricted; (b). FIFO Unrestricted with a 10 percent reduction in lockage component times;(c) FIFO Ready-to-Serve; and (d) 3 Up-3 Down, Unrestricted. These operating policies are discussed in detail in the report. Input data for the models were collected through the Performance Monitoring System (PMS) of the Inland Navigation Systems Analysis (INSA) program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gallipolis Locks and Dam are located on the Ohio River at mile 279.2 and include a 600- by 110-ft main chamber and a 360- by 110-ft auxiliary chamber. As a result of increasing traffic and tow sizes, these locks have become a serious bottleneck to vessel movement along one of the major arteries of the United States inland waterway system. This report includes the results of an investigation to determine the physical capacity of the existing Gallipolis Locks, considering both operational and minor structural changes that could possibly improve the locking efficiency at these locks. Several alternative operating policies, some requiring structural improvements, were analyzed and compared by employing computerized TOWGEN/WATSIM (tow/generator/waterway simulator) model package. Some proposed improvements were analyzed through the use of hand-computational and/or graphical techniques. The prototype data used in the investigation were collected and summarized through the Performance Monitoring System (PMS) of the Corps of Engineers Inland Navigation Systems Analysis (INSA) program. The report includes discussions of the data formats required by the model, calibration of the model, and analysis of model output. A number of capacity curves are presented to show the relation between increasing commodity tonnages, tow delays, and lock utilization. Lock capacity levels, in terms of tonnage per month and tonnage per year, are tabulated for convenient comparison of all potential operational and structural improvements.
