Locks and drydocks 

Integrated geotechnical, hydraulic, structural and mechanical expertise enables COWI to provide specialist design services for dry docks and locks.

Integrated services

COWI has the in-house expertise to establish whether a proposed development is feasible in planning, technical, financial and economic terms.  

We determine the most appropriate solution through investigation of alternative concepts including:

  • Drainage docks
  • Anchored docks
  • Gravity docks
  • Floating dock gates
  • River locks
  • Ship lifts

We perform detailed design for all aspects of the facilities with focus on constructability.
