Verbelen, J. Abstract The 1900's lock Verbindingssluis in Bruges forms an important link in the current sole connection of the sea port of Zeebrugge to the inland waterways. All four sets of wooden mitre gates and pivoting points had to be replaced. The renovation imposed a particular challenge given the need to reinforce the bottom slab with vertical ground anchors prior to the dewatering of the lock heads. As an additional requirement the allowable total downtime of the lock was two weeks maximum, which proved to be an important constraint for the design of the new gates.
