LSAF forms part of the inland waterway navigation system and was built by the government in the 1950s. It consists of a main lock and an uncompleted auxiliary lock.
The 10 MW StrafloMatrix plant was planned by a private development group and is installed in the existing auxiliary lock.
The core element of the plant is a newly constructed retaining wall inside the existing auxiliary lock structure, whose front side houses 8 modules each containing one pair of TG units in a two-row configuration.
Site construction began in the spring of 2009, with completion in late 2010.
