RADIAL GATE: A gate with a curved skin or face plate connected with steel arms to a trunnion or axle. It is usually lifted or lowered by a cable connected to a hook at the top of the gate, rotating on the trunnion shaft as it is moved. This type of gate is used at an opening in the top of a dam to control the water reservoir level, since it can be opened partially to control the amount of flow. ROLLER GATE: A gate used in a levee opening for flood control, usually being so wide or long that rollers are required at the bottom to support it during opening and closing. SLICE GATE: Usually a smaller rectangular type of gate used to control water level or flow, but may also be a small radial type of gate.

STOPLOG: Similar to bulkhead but smaller and stacked in sections on top of each other. SWING GATE: A small to medium size gate, used in a levee opening, that is equipped to swing on hinges from one end to open or close for flood control. TAINTER GATE: Another name for a radial gate. TAINTER VALVE: A radial type gate used in a submerged location such as in a navigation lock where it is used to open of close water passages which flood or drain the lock. TRASH RACK: A metal grid structure placed upstream of a gate such as an intake gate to catch trash and debris preventing it from entering a water passage where it could damage equipment such as a turbine.
