Korea gets movable barrier designed by DHV- by David Foxwell

A new Nakdong Barrier, a barrier on the Nakdong River in South Korea, is to be built using a design developed by engineering consultancy DHV. The current barrier is 20 years old and, because of the effects of climate change on the river, needs to be extended.
