| 摘要： | Work crews recently drained more than 15 million gallons of water from Wilson Lock, Tennessee River Mile 259.4, to provide maintenance workers dry conditions and the visibility required to maintain it. A maintenance team from the Corps of Engineers' Great Lakes and Ohio River Division Regional Rivers Repair Fleet arrived March 24 to coordinate with the Wilson Lock staff on lock maintenance. To ensure the structural integrity of the lock, a periodic dewatering is required. In the dewatering, all the water in the main lock chamber is pumped out, exposing the chamber and its components. Dewatering allows maintenance crews to access machinery and components of the lock that are normally inaccessible. The dewatering process requires a complete shutdown of the main lock for 30 days, requiring commercial vessels to pass through the smaller auxiliary lock and creating longer lockage times. |
