Widening the Twente Canal between Goor and Delden
twentekanaal-mantarayThe Twente Canal between Goor and Delden is being widened to make it accessible for larger vessels. The broadening and deepening of this fairway, is part of the project "Widening of the Twente Canal". Between the Hengelerbridge in Goor and the sluice in Delden, the fairway is now broadened from 40 meters to 50 meters. The middle of the fairway is now deepened to a minimum of 4 meter.

In 2007 activities have been accomplished to this fairway. Because of this, nowadays, vessels with class Va can sail this route with a maximum loading capacity of 2.000 tonne. Before, only vessels with class IV could use this fairway.

Manta Ray ® earth anchors were used to anchor the seawall.
