Labyrinth crested steel Fusegates, 3.5 m long and 2.4 m high. The discharge capacity
has increased by 1060%. No major Work was required on the embankment as there
was no increase in the maximum flood level.
 McClure Dam in New Mexico

8 steel Fusegates, 2.15 m high by 2.13 m wide, each weighing 4.5

tons, were installed on the Ogee crested sill. Installing the
Fusegates increased the live reservoir storage capacity by 17% at
minimal cost, with no change in the maximum reservoir level.
