Schutsluis Hengelo, Navigation lock in Hengelo, Netherlands.
The Schutsluis Hengelo features concrete walls tapering from 3 meters at the base to 1 meter at the top, supported by 2000 concrete foundation piles.
Architect Dirk Roosenburg designed this lock in the early 20th century as part of the Twentekanaal system, receiving Rijksmonument status in March 1999.
The lock represents Dutch engineering excellence in water management, demonstrating the Netherlands' long-standing relationship with maritime infrastructure and waterway control.
The lock chamber measures 140 meters in length and 12 meters in width, allowing vessels up to 2300 tons to navigate through a vertical drop of 9 meters.
The downstream gates utilize a central sealing rolling door system, making it the only lock in the Netherlands with this specific mechanical configuration.
