Lengthy Ordeal
As the water slowly gets drained into the River Seine, workers have to spend hours making sure everything goes according to plan. From relocating the fish that ended up in the canal to completely renovating the four double locks of the canal. Of course, any small part that is worn out has to be replaced as well. The entire process would take approximately three months to complete from beginning to end.
Team Effort
Seeing as a project such as this one is such a big one, it only makes sense there will be a whole lot of people involved to get it done. As is clear from this photo, dozens, if not more, workers are involved to make sure everything gets done correctly and efficiently. Not to mention, without endangering anyone in the process. While machinery is used for the bulk of the project, individuals also have many tasks that their equipment couldn’t achieve.
