ties. The concrete wes poured easily through the templates to rough
finish the concrete. After the concrete had its initial set, the
templates were removed and the surface was finished. The front and
back slope of the fill around these footings was stablized by putting
on a ~“ layer of a 1 to 4 pretied grmut.
After the timing station generator shelter had been constructed
of I.Umberand corrugated metal, it was decided to use pyramidal tents
for those at the 200 and 75 foot towers to save manpower and ~terial.
Marston titting floors were provided in all these shelters.
The causeway was constructed fxwm Biijiri toward Aomon and when
the causewa,yreached the middle of the lagoon the southwesttip of Aomon
began to erode. As the causeway approached Aomon, this erosion became
increasingly serious to Gamma A and the last blast footing on Aomn.
The Hawaiian @edging Company moored a barge parallel to and along side
of tb

west causeway wall shortly after th mid-point of the lagoon

had been reached and this reduced the erosion. However, on 24 February
higher tides and the shorter gap of about 75 feet produced cUrrentS
in the.1.agoonwhich ticreased the erosion. On that day, the Hawaiian
Dred@ng Company was requested to and did start a sheet pile jetty on
Aomon. This sO-foot jetty, completed the next day, stopped the erosion.
Work on the causeway tank road and curbs was started early in l&rch,
but traffic and cable laying interfered, so night work became a necessity.
To provide the fill behind the curb, additional sand was placed in the
causeway and pushed over to the sides of the causeway with a grader
and a dozer. The balance of the fill required was placed by clamshell.
