We have now determined the extent of the defect and the repairs required to return the lock to operation.
When we dewatered the lock to carry out repairs to the lock gates we found that the bottom cill was broken up with signiciant cracking and displacement of the concrete. This concrete is being broken out and replaced and the work is likely to extend the stoppage until 31st January.
We will keep this updated as we get further information in.

This stoppage will be extended after it was found that the leak relates to the partial failure of the cill.
The exact extension period will be confirmed/updated on Wednesday 15th January 2014
