PIANC USA WEBINAR: Design of Navigation Locks – Overview of the State-of-the-Practice

Wednesday, June 24, 2026, 2:00—3:00 p.m. EDT

No cost to attend, 1 PDH Credit

John Clarkson, PE, Chair of WG 206, Navigation Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ret.) and Eric Johnson, PE, SE, Navigation Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Inland Navigation Design Center will cover Design of Navigation Locks from INCOM Working Group 206. The planning and design of a navigation lock is a complex, iterative process that involves multiple disciplines, significant time, and many trade-offs. The goal is a safe, economical project that meets the needs of owners, users, and stakeholders.  Prior to this new report, much of the published planning and design information was over 30 years old and outdated as newer and more efficient practices have evolved. This webinar will provide an overview of all the facets of lock design including planning, engineering, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation.  Participants will learn how to utilize this new state-of-the-practice report that is a must-have resource to efficiently design, construct, and operate a navigation lock.
