确保流畅的流动

作者：凯瑟琳·雷穆勒（Katherine Lehmuller），2016年6月

Germany’s busy Kiel Canal has been used as an international shipping lane for more than 100 years. Linking the North Sea to the Baltic, the canal enables ships not only to save a distance of roughly 280 nautical miles but also to avoid the potentially dangerous storm ridden conditions of Denmark’s northern Jutland Peninsula - the coastal gale winds and increasingly difficult tidal changes of the Skagervak between Denmark and Norway.

经过一个世纪的交通繁忙，德国运输部，建筑和城市发展部决定对水道和航运局（WSABrunsbüttel）的锁进行现代化并进行安全改进。基尔运河是世界上旅行最多的人造水道之一，许多国家在很大程度上依靠运河来实现其行业和企业的经济。在这个七年的建设项目中关闭基尔运河将是不可想象的，因为运河是将德国港口连接到波罗的海的生命线和门。因此，需要在现有的基础架构中添加第五个水槽室。在2020年预期完成的情况下，该第五腔将在进行旧锁的翻新工程时处理运输流量。

分析潮汐的兴衰

基尔运河不仅充当运输车道，而且还可以中和北海的潮汐波动和连续波动的锁的水位，随着潮汐变化的变化，六个小时内升高和下沉了大约3米。Brunsbüttel锁系统还为波罗的海臭名昭著的水位差异提供了重要的沿海保护。

WSABrunsbüttel具有许多水位传感器，可连续收集水位数据，以预见到锁基础设施和运河周围地区可能遇到的任何可能的水有关的困难，从而提供大量的历史分析。大地监测系统也是现场，并连续收集大量数据。对数据的进一步审查决定了对可以读取并将传感器信息结合到数据处理软件的程序的需求。

Before beginning construction, the stability of this enormous project had to be assessed. The new infrastructure presented demanding technical and logistical challenges, which needed to be taken into consideration. The fifth sluice chamber, when completed will measure roughly 350 m in length, 45 m in width, with an underwater extending cill on the lock gate at 14 m below sea level. The chamber will be built into the sluice island between the large and small locks and requires the removal of roughly 1.6 million m³ of mostly clay soil. Three months of monitoring the existing lock system at Brunsbüttel was necessary in order to analyse the stability of the structure before starting with construction. Once the project began, the seven-year construction site will be monitored until its completion.
