This gives workers the time to smooth the surface. Workers trowel the Shotcrete to create a smooth finish. Photo at right is a finished wall section. The lock is now nearing completion. The shotcrete application is almost finished.
Tarps cover the walls while the shotcrete cures.
A few minor details must be completed such as finishing the bumpers on all the shotcrete corners. The contractor is anticipating completion of work on 28 Aug 00. After the contractor turns over the completed lock to the COE, SFOO maintenance crews and dive teams will re-water the lock by removing the dewatering bulkheads on both ends of the lock chamber. On 2 Sep 00, Moore Haven lock opened again for lockage. The project is complete.
