Flood Barrier Maeslant
Built at the same time as the flood barrier in the New Waterway, the one across the Hartel Canal has two semicircular gates of unequal size slung in elliptically-shaped lifting towers. The existing flood gate (Hartelsluis) was modified to accommodate the new barrier, with new sluice gates and a strikingly designed service building being added.
