Spanish term or phrase: esclusa de navegación
Tengo un blank, un lío de diccionarios alrededor y un deadline en un ratito.

"Para la construcción de la Central Hidroeléctrica de Yaciretá, los vertederos y la esclusa de navegación, el volumen de excavación en tierra fue de 22,70 millones de metros cúbicos, y en roca de 4,17 millones de metros cúbicos."

De todo lo que hay para esclusa, ¿qué es lo mejor acá?

¡Gracias!
