When completed sometime in
June, il will have the third largest
center span in the world; that's
the sort Of thing which impresses
the layman. What interests ensi-
neers Ia the principle employed in
sinking the two mammoth piers.
False bottom caissons were
used. They had been used before.
But never before in more than 90
feet of water. Those at the Mar
rows were submerged exactly twice
that many feet.
The caissons had the same shape
rs the piers, were equipped with
steel cutting edges and were float
ed into position. In the bottom of
each caisson was constructed a
watertight floor in rectangular.
removable sections. These were
held IN place by wedged members.
equipped with cable loops, and 80
arranged that the wedges could be
pulled out and the sections remov-
cd at the proper time.
Anchors Needed
The fast tides of the Narrows
necessitated the use of anchors
to hold the caissons in their proper
position. Huge blocks of concrete,
each 500 tons, were dumped to the
bottom and anchored to the cais-
sons.
These preparations completed.
work on pier construction began.
Construction, as usual in deep
water pier design, was by inside
vertical cells. Following this cellu-
lar design. reinforcing steel and
removable forms were then placed
and concrete was poured into each
cell. gradually sinking the caisson
as concrete was added.
when the caissons were sub
merged almost to their top pour
ing ceased while another section
Of framework and watertight tim
Der sheathing was built on. An
Choir lines were then moved up,
forms were replaced and the pour
Ing of concrete resumed.
Procedure Repeated
This procedure was repeated un-
Ill the submerged portions p
preached the bottom. Actual land
ing Of the piers required painstak-
ing planning. Finally, engineering
crews, outfitted with portable
radios, were placed at various dis
tant points. The radio enabled
them to keep In direct communi-
cation with the piers and, by
method Of triangulation, the piers
were brought into their proper po-
sition during the short interval of
slack low tide.
Quickly then. huge quantities Of
water were pumped into the cells
and the caissons settled until the
cutting edges bit into the bottom
of the Narrows. More water was
then pumped into the cells until
they were full and the dead weight
OF the pier rested on the bottom.
The floor section wedges were
then removed by crane. exposing
the earth. A clamshell bucket was
then lowered in each cell and ex-
cavation begun. Thus a hole was
dug under the pier and the cutting
edges of the csisson gradually cut
down the sides. permitting the pier
10 settle into the hole.
