Excerpt: ...the inner slope of first and second class rubble. From the water-line to 4 feet below it the whole width of the pier was covered with a layer of beton built in situ, and the interior quay wall, which had a thickness of 18 feet, and was built of the same material, was founded at a depth of 9 feet by means of a temporary casing of 3-inch sheet piling, supported by timber walings and stout iron upright bars fixed in the rubble. The beton thus so extensively used consisted of 1 part of rich lime, 2 parts of pozzolana, and 3 of broken stones; and so well had it answered that along the line of the finished pier not the slightest sign of settlement could be detected. Above the water-line blocks of 12 metres cube were built in place, some of them consisting of Italian cement, sand, and shingle, in the proportions of 1, 2, and 3 respectively, and others of mortar, of the same quality and proportions, and third-class rubble. At Spezzia pozzolana was used exclusively for the dock walls, where they were set dry, in the proportions of 2 parts of pozzolana to 1 part of lime and 3 parts of stones; but for the quays, built in the water in the manner described by Mr. Hawkshaw, the cement of the country was used in the proportion of 1 part of cement, 2 parts of sand, and 3 parts of broken stone. At Leghorn a noble breakwater 1040 metres long, and built in a depth of 30 feet, was on the eve of completion. With the exception of the interior quay wall and the parapet, it consisted entirely of beton blocks, and so well had the blocks, built on shore, been placed by means of pontoons, that the outer as well as the inner slope stood immovable at an angle of 45. The submerged blocks of 10 metres cube consisted of 0'70 of lime, 0-42 of sand, and 0-42 of pozzolana;...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘An extraordinary history’ PETER ACKROYD, The Times ‘A lively account of (Bazalgette’s) magnificent achievements. . . graphically illustrated’ HERMIONE HOBHOUSE ‘Halliday is good on sanitary engineering and even better on cloaca, crud and putrefaction . . . (he) writes with the relish of one who savours his subject and has deeply researched it. . . splendidly illustrated’ RUTH RENDELL In the sweltering summer of 1858, sewage generated by over two million Londoners was pouring into the Thames, producing a stink so offensive that it drove Members of Parliament from the chamber of the House of Commons. The Times called the crisis ‘The Great Stink’. Parliament had to act – drastic measures were required to clean the Thames and to improve London’s primitive system of sanitation. The great engineer entrusted with this enormous task was Sir Joseph Bazalgette, who rose to the challenge and built the system of intercepting sewers, pumping stations and treatment works that serves London to this day. In the process, he cleansed the Thames and helped banish cholera. The Great Stink of London offers a vivid insight into Bazalgette’s achievements and the era in which he worked and lived, including his heroic battles with politicians and bureaucrats that would transform the face and health of the world’s then largest city.
