Concrete poured in new locks

摘要

The Panama Canal Expansion Programme has made a significant stride forward as it reached 3m m3 of concrete poured in the construction of the new lock complexes for the Expansion Programme. The milestone was registered during the construction of the new locks in the Atlantic side, specifically in the second monolith located in the east wing wall water outlet. The wing walls are located at the opposite ends of the lock complexes, where the enormous culverts that are part of the lateral filling and emptying system of the locks finish. The term monolith refers to each of the sections in which the lock walls are being divided to facilitate their construction.
