257 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 Short description │Sea Lock Waasland-Port The construction of a second sea lock in Waasland-port was indispensable to the expansion of the port of Antwerp. The “Deurganckdoksluis” is a huge project with a length of 500 m and a width of 68 m. For the construction of the L-shaped side walls of the lock, a formwork had to be designed. This formwork had to meet a number of specific requirements. Three different lengths of formwork were needed for the different parts of the sea lock (16.5 m, 25.5 m and 26.5 m), and for each of these lengths a ‘male’ as well as a ‘female’ form was needed. Another requirement was a maximal horizontal displacement of 30 mm for the longest part, while the position of the jacks had to be adjustable at random for adequate horizontal support to the sheet piling. Scia Engineer 3D models proved to be high-performance calculation models for this task and very clear control models for the construction consortium THV Waaslandsluis.

Since its foundation in 2000 we are growing and are now a team of 13 people. This makes us very flexible and able to anticipate very fast what the best solution for requested projects is. With this team of experts we are also able to design and calculate very big projects. We have experience all over the world and are able to produce designs in accordance with most standards and codes: Eurocode, with all European national annexes, British standards and others. We have always put the execution of the building as the top priority. We work from design to execution, producing workshop-drawings of steel- and concrete-structures. To avoid problems on the building-site we ensure that the structure can be assembled and erected as we have designed. The strict preparation and further processing along with the great eye for details lead to efficient and smooth execution on site. With the help of Scia Engineer (all modules), complemented with self-written calculation-programs, our calculations are supported with accuracy and speed.
