NEW SEA LOCK BRUNSBÜTTEL
During this project, the PVL underwater cutting torch was used to remove
the head gates of the new sea lock in Brunsbüttel. These gates had originally
been installed to facilitate the construction of the lock. The cutting work
takes place at a depth of approximately 20 meters underwater.
Divers spend about five months carefully cutting away the steel gates.
Once this is completed, the new lock doors can be installed. After that,
the lock can be put into operation, allowing shipping traffic to pass
through freely again.
