English term

2-sets of single-step locks

English to French Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime expression
Context:"Further upstream at the power dam, there are 2-sets of single locks built at a considerable distance between them, with sufficient space to extend the navigation basins. At Massena NY, there is also substantial distance between the 2-sets of single-step Eisenhower and Snell locks, with space available to lengthen the basins."


Thanks!

2-sets I am a little worried here about the way this is written; normally, we'd just write "2 sets of..." — the addition of the hyphen seems odd. It could, of course, just be the fact that the writer was not very literate; but then they used the hyphen correctly in 'single-step'. So there just might be more to this than meets the eye...

I'm wondering if this means in fact 'a set of 2' — I could imagine that you might have pairs of single-step locks, not contiguous so they would form a single 2-step lock, but two single-step locks spaced apart.

Before coming to any hasty conclusions here, I would strongly advise doing some research into the actual canal system being described, to check just what is involved, exactly.
