236. Further Reclamation at Shamshuipo.-This work was referred to in paragraph 186 of last year's Report.
The dredging of materials overlying the rubble mound foundations were completed, the deposit removed amounted to a total of about 12,500 cube yards. About 6,560 cube yards of rubble were deposited to bring the foundations to correct levels. The sea wall was completed for a distance of about 1,575 feet out of a total distance of 1,600 feet.
A slipway was constructed for the use of the Military Authorities, this slipway takes up a distance of 25 feet frontage on the Western extremity of the reclamation.
33,860 cube yards of filling materials were deposited during the year, making a total of 46,860 cube yards of filling deposited under the present Contract.
The foundations of the sea wall settled vertically for a distance of about 180 lineal feet, the maximum settlement amounted to about 6 feet. The settlement was apparently due to the displacement of a thick strata of mud beneath the foundations. The building of the settled portion of the sea wall to proper level was well advanced at the end of the year.
