Seite 11 - Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labour and wrought substance of them, "See! this our fathers did for us.

Seite 42 - ... embankment were built up by these means in steps 8 ft. wide and 4 ft. high. The first bulkheads were placed upon the natural ground surface by driving in the 6 by 8-in. posts with a hand maul and setting the lower plank into a small trench so that the bulkhead sheathing extended perhaps 8 to 12 in. below the ordinary ground surface. When the sand had been filled in about the top of such first bulkheads, posts for succeeding bulkheads were set in place and the lower plank placed so that it extended...
Seite 41 - The material was excavated from the Oregon Slough by means of a suction dredge with a cutting head and was transported to place by being pumped through a line of pipe 24 inches in diameter.
Seite 42 - ... ground surface. When the sand had been filled in about the top of such first bulkheads, posts for succeeding bulkheads were set in place and the lower plank placed so that it extended about 12 in. below the top of the first bulkhead below. These posts were tied back into the embankment by 2 x 6-in. ties spiked on near the top of each post and extending back to a short post, in front of which were placed a few pieces of lagging to offer additional resistance. The pipe was laid to discharge into...
Seite 43 - ... velocity decreased. At some convenient low point there was provided an outflow down the side of the embankment for which the steps of the embankment were paved with plank to prevent wash. The methods of constructing the bulkheads and of the discharge arrangement are shown by the accompanying illustration After sections of the finished embankments became thoroughly drained as the work proceeded, the posts of the bulkheads were cut away and the planks removed and carried forward for repeated use....
Seite 42 - ... For periods of a few hours at .a time the dredge pumped as much as 1,000 cu. yd. per hr. There was of course a very considerable run-off- of sand from the embankment, as well as a certain amount of fine material which flowed away with the waste water, and it is estimated that about 250,000 cu. yd. more than the above net amount was transported. The discharge pipe line was extended to a length of about 5,500 ft. working from the dredge alone. For greater distances a booster pump was installed...
