DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE THIRD SET of LOCKS

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE THIRD SET of LOCKS
PANAMA CANAL EXPANSION PROGRAMM
Coordination Manager : Jan Kop
Panama, April 11, 2014
The Construction of te Third set of Locks Foresees..
Is…
the most important of all parts of the project which include:
•
Access channel in the Pacific Ocean side (dredging contract)
•
Access channel in the Atlantic Ocean side (dredging contract)
•
Connection channel between the pacific locks and the existing channel (PAC 0, Pac 1
1 through PAC 4)
•
Enlargement and deepening of the existing channel.
Assures..
to have the operation of the new installations in the year 2015 accomplishing 101 years of
the start of the operations of the Panama Canal.

On both Pacific and Atlantic project:
Two exclusive sets of Aggregates Crushing and Cooling Plants
Two Concrete Batching Plants have been deployed; one for the
Atlantic Side and other to the Pacific Side;
The Basalt for the Aggregates to be used in the Atlantic Side are
primarily crushed in the Pacific Side and transported by trucks to the
Cartagena temporary docks, from which the material is shipped to the
Atlantic Side by the means of two 8,000 ton capacity barges,
navigating through the existing Canal.
The installation of infrastructure consisting basically of:
. Power generation and distribution systems;
. Lighting systems;
. Industrial water and compressed air generation and
distribution systems;
. Internal and temporary roads.
Supporting infrastructure :
. Main and detached offices;
. Labor Camp in the Atlantic Side;
. Mechanical and Electrical repair and assistance shops;
. Warehouses and store yards;
. Reinforcing steel cutting and bending yards.

In March 13 2014 the drilling and blasting #1250 has been carried out
without incidents
. Volume of Basalt excavated - 9,800,000 m3;
. Total drilling for explosives - 1,240 km - 141,000 drilled holes ;
. Total quantity of explosives - 5,190,000 kg
Rock blasting without incidents and with rigorous vibration control
due to the proximity of the Miraflores Locks
The Design and Build of the Third Set of Locks has to take into
consideration several fundamental elements :
• The complexity of the geology in the Pacific side;
• The active faults on the Pacific side and the consequent high seismicity expected
in this area;
• The fact that only in the Pacific side suitable rock for the concrete production is
available;
• The presence of recent sedimentary and unstable deposits in the Atlantic side
and in part of the Pacific side;
• The very strict requirements for the locks maneuvers and operation (availibility
99.6%)
• The negative effect of the rainy season on the production during construction
phase;
• The short schedule time available for the huge foreseen quantities;
