Strömungstore im Killaloe Kanal
Dieses Jahr wurden die Strömungstore im Killaloe Kanal gebaut. Die Anlage ist betriebsbereit, aber noch nicht offiziell eröffnet. Die Bedienung erfolgt von einem Mitarbeiter von Waterways Ireland von der Portumna Schwingbrücke aus. Der Bootsfahrer, der die Tore geöffnet haben will, betätigt eine Ruftaste und kann mit dem Mitarbeiter in Portumna sprechen. Für die Durchfahrt ist eine Smart card von Waterways Ireland notwendig, von der Einheiten (units) abgebucht werden. Den ganze Vorgang kann der WI-Mitarbeiter in Portumna visuell mit Hilfe von Videokameras kontrollieren.
