Abstract

This module covers the choice for and the operating principles of the Maeslant Barrier, also known as the Storm Surge Barrier in the New Waterway. The module will give you insight into the history of the design and discuss the boundary conditions. In addition, the relationship with the storm surge barrier in the Hartel Canal (SSBHC) will be explained. The workings of the Maeslant Barrier are discussed next, and the process of a complete closure is covered by means of theoretical storm scenarios. Objective of this module is to make the reader familiar with the background and general operating principles of the Maeslant Barrier relatively quickly. This base module is part of a larger collection of documents. The documentation comprises two base modules and five handbooks. The five handbooks are the following: Handbook 1: Dock and dock door Handbook 2: Barrier and lattice arms Handbook 3: Drive mechanism (locomobile) Handbook 4: Ball joint Handbook 5: Civil/Grounds/River
