From Wikipedia

The Plofsluis (lit. 'Explosion lock') or Keersluis bij Jutphaas (Control lock near Jutphaas) is a control lock in the Netherlands. It lies in the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal, between Nieuwegein and Houten, southeast of Fort Jutphaas. As part of the New Dutch Waterline, it was constructed to quickly dam the canal, so water from the flooded surroundings would not flow away through the canal. To achieve this, 40 million kilos of rocks and rubble was held in five spaces meters above the water, which would collapse with explosives. The plofsluis has never been used.
