Design of the Panama Canal Third Set of Locks
This paper provides an overview of the key design aspects of the $3.5 billion Panama Canal Third Set of Locks design-build project. The design of the project is being prepared by MWH as lead of the CICP Consultores Internacionales JV Design Team for Grupo Unidos Por el Canal (GUPC) the construction JV. The paper presents a summary of the concept design prepared by the Owner, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), bid technical specifications, and the consequent tender design development that led to the highest-ranked technical proposal and lowest design-build price. Also described in detail are several of the critical design elements of the project, specifically: the lock filling and emptying studies, design of the lock concrete structures (lock chambers and lock heads), and design of the unique "rolling door" type lock gates. The paper concludes with a summary of design advances that are being incorporated into the Third Set of Locks.
