No standard lock gates for the new sea lock in IJmuiden, the largest lock in the world
In the Dutch city of IJmuiden, a new sea lock is currently under construction. With a lock chamber of 500 m long and 70 m wide, it will be the largest lock in the world. The latest generation of seagoing vessels will be able to access the harbour of Amsterdam using this lock. At the same time, at an altitude of 8.85 meters above sea level, the Netherlands are protected from the rising sea water for the next two centuries. The lock must be constructed in between of the existing operational locks. Because of this lack of space, the water levelling system is incorporate in the rolling gates. The required performance of the gates as well as the drive mechanism, in terms of reliability, availability, maintainability, safety and robustness), was highly governing during the design process, and resulted in a final design that cannot be described as standard.
