SAFETY<br />
Safety in design is increasingly important<br />
More risk-conscious – a more litigious society<br />
The report discusses protection of:<br />
People (users, operators, bystanders)<br />
Locks<br />
Ships<br />

WATER EDGE SAFETY CLASSIFICATION<br />
Report includes:<br />
Classification of types<br />
of water edge structure<br />
Guidelines for suitable<br />
safety treatment for<br />
each category<br />

INTEGRATED WSBs<br />
The integrated system assimilates the WSBs into<br />
the two side walls, making the lock structure stiffer,<br />
more compact, and less land-consuming.<br />
