About "Hydraulic structure in the Lower Rhine: Amerongen weir and lock complex"

by Christa Moetwil - van Dijk

About the artwork

The two sight gates (arched steel structures) of Amerongen weir and lock complex are up due to high water.

The weir at Amerongen (and Maurik) has to maintain the water level between Driel and Amerongen. If little water is supplied via the Rhine, closing the weir ensures that the water in the hinterland does not drop too low. This keeps sufficient fresh water available for agriculture and keeps the waterway deep enough for shipping. When there is too much water, the weir is removed from the river so that water flows quickly towards the North Sea.

Each weir here is equipped with a so-called sight slide: a semicircular valve weighing about 200 tonnes. This slide is lifted using cables. The way the slide moves is reminiscent of the valve for the eye visor of an old knight's helmet.
