Dock-wall
Twenty-three feet of water at low tide in front of them, built in form of hollow piers 33 prime × 22 prime in plan, by 27 ft. high, the well-hole 19 prime × 8 prime in plan, sunk by pumping out the water and excavating inside the well-hole, then filled with concrete. The piers set three feet apart and sunk at intervals; first every other one, then the missing ones. Cost of excavation, of net measurement of exterior of the completed piers, including cost of pumping, stagings, lighting, fuel, cost of plant, with cost of repairs and charging whole original cost of plant, inclusive also of all supplementary work, and excluding only cost of masonry laid in cement above ground, but by tide-work, was about $2.05 per cubic yard; of which price about 63 cts. represents the cost of the plant. (See also Annales des P. and C. 1885-I-96. Works on the Plantation quay at Glasgow, described in the same journal, February, 1876, and on the Rochefort wet-dock, Feb., 1884.)
