Preliminary inspection
In preparation for the big job, a preliminary inspection must be carried out by deploying a diver. A preliminary investigation into the condition of the retaining unit and hydraulic measurements on the locks gates/doors will be done. To be able to conduct the maintenance work, the lock had to be drained. After it has been drained, various inspections can be done.
Work
During the renovation work, the lock heads were drained using wooden retaining walls and an EPM liner. Subsequently, the four wooden lock gates/doors were lifted out of the lock and repaired at the Hollandia work site. During these repairs the doors were fitted with new timber seals, pivot bowls, bearings for the neck bracket construction and new seats for the gripping points of the door cylinders. The doors were then replaced.
The lock gate rotates on pivot pins, which were replaced together with the pivot bowls. These pivot pins were redesigned with a duplex pin and 3D glide bowl. The work on the lock’s upper head (east side) and lower head (west side) consists of masonry repairs and various minor works.
