became necessary to drive a temporary wall of 30 pile stubs to protect
installationson the Aomon shore. The current increased tremendously
as the channel became narrower, and the resultant scour threatened to
undermine kuildings near the water?s edge. work progressed rapidly
after 19 February,when the YCV-17 was moved to a position alongside
the causeway. The remaining 250 piles were driven by 4 March. Placing
of whalers, completingthe fill and reloading of equipment and surplus
msterial took until 12 March, and the following day the barge was moved
toa mooring off Eniwetok Island. The installation of a tank curb on
the causewaywas performd by engineer troops; for detafls see the report
of the Resident Engineer, Aomon Island. For detailed plans of the sheet
steel causeway, see Drawing No. !3-50.
Construction on Parry and ~iwetok Islands. Construction on these
islands was performed by detachments from m. Co., 532d EBand SR,
stationed at Eniwetok Island. Technical requirecmnts were relatively
few and simple. Pressure of time did not ordimrily permit the drawing
and reproduction of detailed plans, and work was carried out by means
of pencilled sketches, verbal instructions,and on-the-spot decisions.
As most of the work was not criticalwith regard to holding to precise
dimensions, this arrangement worked well and resulted in considerable
saving of time. Suah plans as were prepsred are attached as enclosures
to this report. A brief description of each project, together with
references to the attached compilation of starting and completion dates,
nmn hours expended,and plans, is dee-d sufficient to present the picture.
