A large-scale project such as the renovation of the Krammersluizen complex requires a comfortable and future-proof workspace for the people who will be working on it for years to come. Leave that to the experts at K&A Houtbouw. The family-owned company from Groot-Ammers, which has been active in the construction of formwork systems for over 30 years, provided housing for the project team and the construction site staff.
As part of the large-scale renovation of the Krammersluizen complex, work is currently underway to prepare for the construction of a new pump house between two existing lock chambers. Diving teams from DISA International have mapped the profile of both lock chamber walls with centimeter-level precision, while the locks remained fully operational.
At first glance, replacing a lock gate seems like a simple matter of removing and reinstalling it. The reality is considerably more complex—especially at the Krammer Locks, where the gates weigh anywhere from 65 metric tons to as much as 400 metric tons. For De Klerk, these gate replacements represent the culmination of years of involvement with the complex, where the company has been active almost continuously since 2015, carrying out maintenance, renovation, and overhaul work.
