Fremantle Graving Dock; Steel Dam Construction for North Wall
Toward the end of 1910, the writer was appointed by the Western Australian Government to design and carry out departmentally the Fremantle Graving Dock, the construction of which was in hand under the Engineer-in-Chief of the Public Works Department, Mr. James Thompson. When the writer took charge, an area had been dredged for the dock to a depth of 49 ft. below low-water mark, the ordinary rise of tide being about 3 ft. 6 in. and extraordinary tides rising only 6 ft. The tidal rise and fall are irregular and intermittent, and, to a large extent, depend on the direction of the wind.
