Ship Lock Door Wilhelmshaven
HSM Steel Structures designed, built and installed the new fifth sliding door for the ‘Große Seeschleuse’ at Wilhelmshaven, Germany. This ship lock complex is situated at the Wilhelmshaven Navy Base. The fifth door will be used as a replacement door in order to enable the overhaul of the existing four doors (built around 1960). After the complete overhaul of the four original doors, the fifth door will remain in service as a spare door.
