Soo Locks Modernization

Multi-vendor control system integration for one of North America’s most important navigation corridors.

Engineering Around the Operating Reality

The New Lock at the Soo is a nationally significant infrastructure project involving complex mechanical systems, electrical power, multiple OEM packages, and a control architecture that must bring those systems together reliably.

A Control Strategy Built Around the System

As the subcontracted system integrator for Phase 3, Systems Interface is helping finalize the design and integrate a multi-vendor OEM control system. The work spans ship arrestors, miter gates, Tainter valves, pump wells, electrical power systems, and the main control system.

Controls Engineering

Design support and integration across multiple infrastructure systems.

System Integration

Coordination of multi-vendor OEM equipment within the main control architecture.

Panel Manufacturing

SII’s manufacturing team is building 41 custom control panels.

What the Work Delivered

The work brings engineering, programming, manufacturing, startup, installation, and implementation support together around a control system designed for critical long-term operation.
