Abstract

The Three Gorges Project (TGP) is the greatest water conservancy engineering being built in the world. Each of the technical design and the engineering constuction in the project can be a worldwide key technical difficult and a representative case of water conservancy engineering.

Based on the overall examination of the Three Gorges Project navigation construction technical design, which started in 1994, the following 6 topics are described and discussed: 1) the general layout of the TGP navigation construction; 2) lock´s filling and emptying system and the lock´s hydraulics; 3) the design of the high slope of the permanent ship lock; 4) the hydro-structure of the permanent ship lock; 5) shiplift; 6) scientific research and its achievement during the technical design stage.
