A set of three lock chambers, on a single track, allowing in three ascents of 8-9 m to reach the level of Lake Gatún, located at 26 m above sea level. They are 427 m long and 55 m wide, and have a depth of 18 m. They have three lateral basins to recover part of the lockage water, which can then be reused two-thirds of the time during the next lockage. They are closed by 16 sliding metal doors, 57.6 m long and 10.8 m wide, with a height varying from 22 to 33 m, depending on their location and their weight (between 2,100 and 4,200 tons).
