ing pier 26, will. have big outlay in
plants.
The building Of these docks is a big
work and the arrangements have been
oc big scale At the twin docks
three enormous bunkers have been.
completed for the rock, gravel ard
sand to be used for mixing the con-
crete. The capacity of these will per-
nit 1000 tons of material to be, dump
ed in the bunkers.
The sinking of the huge steel outer
shell or cylinder to exclude the water
while the concrete cylinders are Icing
built is under way. Huge drivers ex-
tending upward OF 100 feet have been
installed and the heavy 90-ton cylinder
are deposited in place and hammered
down to hardpan or bed rock with
ease.
At the end of the piers, where the
cylinders will be grounded at depth
OF 81 feet. the driver completed is 10
feet high. TIE protecting cylinder at
this point will be eight feet across and
50 feet in length
After the steel caisson is placed,
wooden one, five and one-half feet
wide, is placed inside, landed firmly
on hard bottom, the water being pump
ed out of the outer casing first. in
specetors in the employ of the State
descend to the bottom first to make
sure that the foundation is right, else
a greater depth is attained. As the
concrete is placed, it is carefully lamp
ed down by laborers, who make sure
that the steel reinforcing rods are pro
perly placed at the same time.
Not pound of the millions that
make up the concrete mixture will be
handled by the old hand method This
is avoided by the huge distribution
system now to be installed, which will
consist of two separate travelling or
portable towers, each of which will
have central tower ITO feet high,
with boom It's feet long.
Each of these plants will have the
cement mixing outfit at the base. The
rock, sand and cement will be thrown
into the mixture through chutes, and
when the mixture Is ready it will lie
taken to the top of the tower by con-
yeloys and then distrit uted at the
place by the long boom. The only
hand work needed vii be the tamping
OF the mixture in place.
The engineers in charge of the work
say that visit to the scene of opera
tens will teach the novice more about
big construction of this kind than can
be learned from months of reading of
technical engineers books and mag
aZines. -
