Abstrakt:

The construction of the third set of lock sets is part of the expansion program of the Panama Canal. Aim of the program is to allow longer and higher loaded vessels to transit the existing canal.

The main components of the expansion program are:

  • Project of the third set of locks, the most important part of the program and topic of the present paper. Two lock complexes of three levels with water saving basins are built at each ocean side – one at Atlantic and the other one at Pacific side.

  • Excavation of access canals

  • Widening and deepening of access canals and elevation of Gatun Lake water level
