With a length of 500m and a width of 68m the surface of this new lock is exactly the same as the present largest lock, the Berendrecht lock (also at the port of Antwerp) but this one will be able to handle vessels with a draught of 17.5m compared to 13,5 at the Berendrecht lock.

750000 cbm of concrete will be needed which is produced at a rate of 1500 up to 3500 cbm per day.
10000 tons of steel sheet piling
53000 tons of steel concrete reinforcing rods
22000 tons of construction steel for the lock gates and bridges
For the construction of the lock, a total of 4 500 000 cbm of earth had to be moved at a rate of 20000 up to 35000cbm per day with 20 dumpertrucks.
