Unfortunately, this stoppage has been extended by a week. During the dismantling of the gates, components not originally scheduled for replacement were found to be in poor condition. This extension will allow our technicians to carry out a full assessment and formalise a solution. In the meantime, the onsite team is progressing with repairs to the lock cill, which was also found to be in poor condition during the dewatering process.
