The occurrence of traffic jams at a bridge during the passage of vessels can be reduced by the construction of a Tilting Lock. By 'submerging' the vessels in the Tilting Lock underneath the bridge, the Tilting Lock increases the available air draft for vessels. Due to the Tilting Lock, vessels can pass a fixed bridge span underneath without hindrance for the road traffic on top of the bridge. The main challenge of the Tilting Lock is the large depth that is required for the implementation of the Tilting Lock. Due to the circular shape of the Tilting Lock, excavations are required up to 30 meter below the current bottom surface of the Haringvliet estuary. These large excavations will interfere with the pile foundation of the Haringvliet bridge piers. In the case study, the feasibility of the excavations that are required for the Tilting Lock was evaluated.
