CHAPTER Il, SECTION 6 CONSTRUCTION - TARE CAUSEWAY. The Tare pipeline causeway was approximately 60 feet wide and carried a pipe array with ten-foot wide supports, a 24-foot wide road with safety shoulders, and rights-of-way for power, telephone and coaxial cables. Earthwork for the causeway, which made maximum use of the existing access causeway between Sugar and Tare, was begun immediately after approval in May and completed early in June 1953. Bulkheading with rail and timber as shown by the original design proved unnecessary, adequate protection being provided by rip-rap which could be bulldozed up from the adjacent reefs. CONTRACT ITEM NUMBER A-27 GENERAL SITE WORK FOR SCIENTIFIC STATIONS DOG - GEORGE CAUSEWAY GENERAL. Causeways connecting the four islands of the Dog-George group were constructed for land access to all construction sites immediately after establishment of the beachhead camp in May 1953. These causeways were essential for delivery of concrete from the batch plant on site Easy to all islands in the chain, Figure 2-214. Page 2-214 for delivery of surface shipments of cargo from the boat ramp on site George and for transportation to and from the camp on Fox. They were used for construction of the four major Scientific Stations on this island group as well as the numerous associated minor Scientific Stations. Figure 2-216 notes the causeway as it appeared on 13 August 1953. Causeway locations and approved borrow areas are shown onfigure 2-215. ENGINEERING. The Jobsite Engineering Division processed the necessary cost estimates and work orders, and in addition conducted hydrographic and locations surveys, inspection and test control on construction. An “‘as-built”’ location plan was prepared. CONSTRUCTION. The three causeways involved were as follows: Dog to Easy, approxi- mate length 3000 feet. Easy to Fox, approximate length 1200 feet. Fox to George, improvement of access via connecting reef only. Available bank and reef coral was used, the surface being traffic compacted and stabi- lized with sea water.
