Abstract :
*(250~1000 words)
Status of PIANC WG 206 - To update the 1986 Final Report of the International Commission for the Study of Locks. The book is renamed more appropriately the Handbook for Navigation Design. It has been over 30 years since this benchmark document was produced and much has evolved and an updated report, second version is needed. The navigation design community will benefit from an updated second version design guidance. The original document was an outstanding document in its time, 445 pages, however much of it is simply outdated and now is of limited value. Many of the designs presented simply are not used as more efficient, reliable, cost effective, and environmentally friendly solutions are favored. There are multiple areas to update, as a second volume it is envisioned the basic outline of the book will be retained, updated with new chapters or headings for subjects that were not common at the time for such items such as sustainability and in-the-wet construction, etc. Many countries now have mature water transport infrastructure, and it is becoming clear the driving force for design are new efficient rehabilitation strategies when expanding or building a lock and maintain existing traffic in an overcrowded waterway. Other strategies such as in-the-wet construction can allow for much smaller footprint since a full-scale cofferdam is not needed. There have also been new exciting, innovative projects to highlight, such as, the Third Set of Locks for the Panama Canal, Three Gorges Locks, and the Falkirk Wheel. In addition there are many innovative navigation design improvements to discuss, such as, new lock filling and emptying systems, e-navigation, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and other advanced modeling has led to much better understanding of vessel behavior in the approach and during lockage, also a better grasp on mooring forces and salt water intrusion movements, asset management, life cycle cost, aids to navigation, gates, gate protection equipment, local coffer-boxes, innovative materials such as composites, hands free mooring, seismic effects, and security improvements (safety and terrorism). Many of these individual techniques and materials have been available for decades, but their broader acceptance has been limited. Their use will be more viable once published with the far-reaching PIANC network. The updated handbook will allow for inexperienced engineers to have a global understanding of defining the design parameters for a new project, i.e., capacity, lift, layout, required studies, etc. The handbook will also allow Lead Project Engineers a holistic view to understand all the design issues for the various design disciplines on the team. No other organization has the network and organizational infrastructure such as PIANC to compile a textbook of this scale and value. For experienced designers this a chance to give back to the navigation design community. “This effort will certainly be welcomed and appreciated by the navigation community.” Eng. Eric Van den Eede. This is a once in a generation opportunity to contribute to this legacy document, if you are interested please contact PIANC.
