| Wasserhebewerk /imo Schiffshebewerk Waterpump (ancient)/ Ship lift /hydraulic lift Explanation: The term Wasserhebewerk is used in the connection of (old)Water pumps for fields, to lift the water into water towers etc. imo this is seldom used now. The french (german- Elsace Lothringen) definition {see below}uses Wasserhebewerk as a Schiffshebewerk, which is a (hydraulic) ship lift. => Example Fallkirk => http://www.falkirk-wheel.com/wheel/falkirk-wheel/wheel.htm which uses Boat lift, as this is for smaller boats. Schiffshebewerk n / ship['s] lift o. hoist (Ernst Wörterbuch der Technik) Außergewöhnliche Ingenieurbauten sorgen dafür, daß Schiffe bis 9.000 Tonnen über den Albertkanal bis nach Lüttich gelangen. Die Schiefe Ebene von Ronquières öffnet ihrerseits den Zugang von Antwerpen nach Charleroi. Das Wasserhebewerk von Strépy-Thieu ist das größte, das je gebaut wurde, und erlaubt seit September 2002 den großen Schiffen eine schnelle Verbindung zwischen Rhein, Maas und Schelde. http://www.wallonie.be/de/decouvrir/decouvrir_wallonie/econo... The use of construction chemicals would also make sense here as the size of a ship lift is quite enormous in comparison to a water pump/pumping station -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-11-29 21:59:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bilder von Strépy-Thieu: http://de.structurae.de/structures/data/photos.cfm?ID=s00099... habe aber nicht so viele Belege zu dieser Verwendung entdeckt wie gedacht=> deshalb ConfidenceLevel=2 |
