CHAPTER Il, SECTION 3
the existing concrete wall of Station 1810. The
addition was built over a filled area extending
from the ocean side wall lines of the existing

stations and between the stations to a top of

slope eight feet beyond the lagoon end of the
new building frame. The top of fill area spread
from 18% feet wide between buildings to 28
feet beyond the lagoon wall line of Station 1030.
The fill was 12 feet deep, bulkheaded at the
ocean wall line of existing stations by a 20-inchthick reinforced concrete wall and sloped down

to grade on the ocean sides. The frame build-

ing floor was a 5-inch-thick concrete slab on
ground. Wall framing was 2x4 studs with ply-

wood sheathing. The roof frame provided a 55foot-long by 614-foot-clear hatch opening with
removable wood frame panels surrounded by

solid roof deck areas. The lagoon end-wall of
the frame had a 1514-foot-wide by 3-foot-wide
wood shutter opening out and hinged at the
head line. Access to the frame building was by

wood stairs up the slope of the fill in front of
Station 1030. Twelve flanged 16-inch-diameter
pipe spools were installed in the Station 1810

concrete wall along the length of the new frame
building.
