Design of Reclamation Works.
To summarise
the foregoing conclusions, I consider that a vertical,
or nearly vertical, quay wall founded on a rubble mound
is the most suitable form for the sea-werd limit of the
Reclamation. It is doubtful whether the substitution 334
of reinforced concrete wharves of sufficient strength as
an addition to a rubble embankment would effect any
economy in first cost. As the Consulting Engineers
remark, the wharves would have to be in front of the toe
of the rubble mound; and there are practical objections
to the founding of approach supports on a rubble slope
which is liable to settlement; while, unless these
approaches were placed at very frequent intervals, the
transport of goods to and from the godowns ashore would
be hampered.
Piers extending seawerds et right angles to
the line of the Reclamation would be very much less
convenient, and there might be difficulty in berthing
ships across the tide.
9. There remains to be considered the question
of Basins within the limits of the Reclamation.
It appears to me that Basins for steamer use are neither
necessary nor advisable. The cost would be unduly
heavy; there is ample accommodation for steamers for many
and the years on the Harbour face of the Reclamation;
land within its limits is, for the most part, more
valuable for shore requirements.
I would, however, suggest for your consideration
the provision of one or more shallow-draft basins
for lighter accommodation, and one for timber, as well
as the basin for the overhaul of P.V.D. lighters,
