In recent months, the corona crisis has also reached the new sea lock in IJmuiden. Appropriate measures had to be taken. OpenIJ started taking measures at the construction site at a very early stage.

In the coming months, the eastern part of the northern flood barrier will be constructed, the threshold will be connected to the inner courtyard and the lock chamber will be dredged.

The new sea lock will be completely dredged out and all this sand will have to go somewhere. How does this work? What are they doing with all this sand? Arjan Kroot, site manager of the lock complex, explained the working techniques used on the construction site.

Good cooperation is important, especially with the construction of the new sea lock. Jordy Husslage, Head of Operations at Port of Amsterdam, knows all about it.

The Dutch seaports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Terneuzen/Vlissingen, Moerdijk, and Groningen have jointly won the ‘World Ports Sustainability Award’.

After the lock gate chamber of the inner head (at the North Sea Canal side) was sunk to its planned depth in 2019, OpenIJ started the completing works in the lock gate chamber early in 2020.

The following works will be carried out in May and June: The western part of the Middle Lock island (number 1 in the picture) will be cleared; the cofferdam for the lock sill of the outer head (2) will be removed; testing will be carried out on the new lock gates in Amsterdam and IJmuiden (3).
