Challenge
Maintenance of the hydraulic cylinders in the Neeltje Jans storm surge barrier's sluices that enable controlled opening and closing of the heavy sluice-gates. After being exposed to the elements for many decades, the 85mm bolts on the cylinder heads can only be loosened and tightened in a controlled manner with breakaway torques.
