Breakages were heavy, Loun Company was a Colombo Plan Project. As all equipment was later to be turned over to the Pakis- tan Government, every effort iwas made to confine purchases to items that would be of best use in the future. The great need for standard- ization can be readily under- stood. Apart from the reduct- ion of inventory of spare parts, training of repair and mainten- ance crews was simplified when equipment came from a limited number of manufaé-tulrers. The company has been awarded the contract to build the York County Cen- tral Hospital in Richmond Hill. Completion of that project is expected the lat- ter part of next year. 1 Certain requirements had to‘ be considered when planning‘ construction equipment. Stand- ardization was carried out as far as practically possible. Purchasâ€" es were kept within Canada. first, consistent with economy and within the Commonwealth secondly, again consistent with economy, inasmuch as Warsak was a Colombo Plan Project. As all equipment was later The spending of Canadian Colombo Plan funds in Canada lessened the drain on the Can- adian economy. Terms of the inter-governmental agreement provided that all construction equipment be turned over to the Pakistan Government on com- pletion of the project. Advantages of such an ar- rangement to Pakistan was ob- ‘vious in that the equipment was already at the site and as- sembled, and a number of Pak- istanis had been trained in its operation, maintenance, and re- pair. With this in mind. every ef- fort was made to restrict equipment to that which would be of future use on any similar project. It was not possible to avoid sending a few special items such as calbleways, but in general large shovels, trucks, etc. were not chosen. Last week we told you about the history of the An- gus Robertson Company and the part they played in building the $60 million dollars Warsak Dam in West Pakistan under the Colombo Plan. In this concluding part, we discuss briefly the equipment used and sched- uling of work on the pro- ject. Due to the highly technical nature of work in- volved we have only sum- m-arizd the highlights on this phase. 'particularly in the early stages of the work, and although a heavy inventory of repair parts was maintained. improvisation was necessary on many occas- ions. It was not possible to al- ways have available the neces- sary parts to repair unexpected breakages. nevertheless the equipment was kept operating one way or another. The project was rapidly div- ided into three main items; Tunnellling through rock; earth and rock excavation: and con- crete placing. Basic planning for the first m, ‘IU-‘- “.11.”: tn» tum nnhiin JuIy 26, 1962 lmonwealth Placement of concrete in the istent with main dam required considerable as Warsak study. Conventional methods Project, such as the use of derricks or was later the construction of a temporary the Pakis- trestle were ruled out by the re- very effort quirement of placing concrete ruI‘C‘h-ases to on the high levels while the of best use cofferdavms were overto‘pped. and |by the steep ban-ks of the gorge. The project was rapidly div- ided into three main items; Tunnellling through rock; earth and rock excavation: and con- crete pllacin-g. Basic planning for the first two phases called for two cubic yard shovels and 15 ton and 22 ton trucks, plus standard mine equipment for the smaller dia- meter tunnel. The remainder of the work, the power house, and penstock tunnels, and the irrigation tun- ;nel, though of considerable Itmagnitude. was fiitted into the Irwork in the river as required by the overall schedule. " the ‘be located two and a half miles from the site of the work. Ac- I.cess roads to the various work- ‘iing points required far-sighted i l planning and considerable hea- Ivy work to carry them out i A bridge capable of carrying ‘heavy equipment had to be 'built across the rive: immed- Iiavtely below the site as the nearest crossing was three and ‘a half miles downstream. and was only capable of carrying 70 tons. Nearly all temporary construction buildings had tot ume of silt which would have been deposited in any unfilled excavation. Two identical ll-ton cab- leways were purchased which were used for the . concrete placement. These two units operated on the same tracks, 380 feet long, laid on benches excavated in the sides of the gorge. Concrete was handled in com- pressed air operated four cubic yard bottom dump buckets. which were loaded at the main imixing plant and brought under the cableway hoods on flat cars travelling on a 36 inch gauge transfer truck. hauled by three 1and a half ton locomotives. 1 Maximum production of the ‘main mixing plant was 49,239 Later study of the large quantities handled in the cot- ferdammed area, where oper- ations could be carried out after unwatering and during the per- iod of low flow, indicated the necessity of securing two, four cubic yard shovel-drag lines in addition to the smaller units. Two 11-ton cwblzeways were ordered to operate on a span of 1,043 feet. The sides of the gorge were trenched and track laid to cover the entire area of the dam and most of. the still- ing basin. A central mixing plant, con- taining three, two cubic yard mixers, supplied most of the concrete required, with an aux- iliary plan-t containing one, two cubic yard mixer for additional capacity when needed. Four six and a half cu‘bic yard transit mixers were used to transport concrete to the power house and other locat- ions not covered by the cable- ways. Preliminary planning called for completion of the project in 1959, which meant that the‘ diversion tunnel, 1,700 feet long with a finished diameter of 35 feet, had to be driven and lined with concrete by September 1956 or abowt nine momsh‘s after the preliminary set-uip. Various factors ’caused re- vision of this schedule, the chief among them being that insufficient power would be av- ailable for the heavy com- vpressor load until midsummer 1956. A more orderly schedule was then set up which allowed time to install proper repair facilit- ies, organize transportation, build access roads, and estab- lish proper relations with the local Pakistan authorities who were anxious to take as large a part in the works as possible, and upon whom depended the supply of men and local mat- erials. The schedule was obviously affected by the capacity of the diversion tunnel, which only permitted working in_ the river bed when the flow was less than 30,000 CFS for about seven months of the year. Their co-operation was es- sential for the success of the project. As the Kabul River during flood period carries a great amount of silt, it was imperat- ive that the deep excavation in 'the cenbre of the river be filled with concrete to an elevation which would avoid having to excavate large quantities a sec- ond time. The concentration of work in the river vbot-tom during the September to April period was therefore very heavy. Another governing fact- or in the schedule was the limiting safe velocity in the diversion tunnel, as the con- crete lining would have been endangered if the gap in the dam was insufficient to pass the 1959 flood with- out raising the water above 1.170 foot elevation. I This meant that a gap of 150 ‘feet in the railway section and ‘three piers had to 'be left in- ;complete until the autumn of ‘1959. The side of the gorge at the location of the dam on the south side was so deep that it was not feasible to maintain access to the upstream area without lea- ving a hole or tunnel when con- creting the south end of the dam. This tunnel was left open as long as possible before being filled with concrete and pres- sure grouted, after which it was necessary to use upstream cofâ€" ferdam for access un-ti1 the bridge across the dam was completed. The upstream and the down- stream cofferdam each consist- ed of two previous fills with im- pervious material} between them. There were four fills, stretch- ing across the river to close off the flow, which at closure cre- ated a total head of approxim- iately six feet. Previously, rock from power house excavation had been se- lected and stock-piled nearby, creating a ready reserve of rock ' large enough to withstand the velocity of the water. The river at the damsite consisted of silt, sand, gra- vel and boulders deposited by the successive floods of the past centuries. Maxi- mum depth encountered was 90 feet. As soon as the area had been unwatered. the large machines went to work as draglines, and the smaller ones proceeded down to open up the cut for face shovels. The deep excavation under some of the piers had to be done by loading into skip boxes han- dled by cranes at a higher level. Power house excavation into the side of the gorge was pre- ceded by a considerable amount of scaling by hand. The Pakis- tanis were good at this type of operation but it required many months of work and a debris trench was dug well above the top of the excavation to retain pieces of rock that might roll down later. Further stabilization was nec- essary in the form of concrete revetment following a rock slide which took place in the first year of operation. The highest point where ex- cavation took place was at 1.450 feet and excavation for the floor of the draft tubes was at 1,080 feet. Again access roads were a big problem. Blasting was used with con- siderable success in the early stages in order to get some of the rock from the higher levels down to where it could be handled by shovels. Of the total amount of pow- er house rock excavation of 523,000 cubic yards, approxim- ately 300,000 cubic yards were handled by blasting. There was a 42 degree inclinJ ed section near the inlet part of which was taken out from the inlet end. A pilot tunnel was then driven in the form of a raise from the bottom to meet the upper level, and successive rounds drilled and blasted from the upper level, sending the rock down to where it could be shov-l e1 loaded. 1 The irrigation tunnel. 17,000 feet long and excavated to an approximate diameter of 12 feet. was carried out by means of standard mining equipment. A 24 inch gauge railroad was used and mucking was perform- ed by overhead loaders, loading two cubic yard mine cars, haul- ed by battery operated locomo- tives. ‘ Considerable shattered rock was encountered and it was found necessary to support the arch with steel ribs for one third of the distance. Ventilation was achieved by four, five horsepower fans at each end, supplying air through steel pipe which started at 18 inch diameter and reduced to 15 and 3); inch diameter. The Pakistanis were anxious to take as large a part as pos- sible in the development and early in 1957, it was agreed that the Warsak Dam Project Organ- ‘ization, which was the govern- ‘ment agency set up to take part in the project, should do the ex- cavation of the tunnel as a sub- contractor with the company as- sisting where necessary and car- ,rying out general supervision. The governing factor in the concreting schedule was the ne- cessity of placing sufficient con- crete in the dam during the low water period of 1958â€"59, to ach- ‘ieve a height which would per- lmit concreting to continue on either side of the gap left to pass the flood of 1959. At the same time, the floor of the stilling basin had to be com- pleted to remove the large vol- ume of silt which would have Maximum production of the main mixing plant was 49,239 cubic yards in'January 1959, and the maximum placed in the dam and stilling basin using the main and auxiliary mixing plants was 67,224 cubic yards in the same month. Maximum overall concrete placement rate was 80,172 cubic yards achieved in February 1959, the mixing plants being I The organization set up by‘ the inter-governmental agree- ment called for a degree of un- derstanding and co-operation between the Pakistani and Can- adiain‘authoi‘ities, which seemed at the outset almost impossible to attain. supplemented by the transit mixers. The virtual completion of the Warsak project in the spring of 1960 brought a considerable measure of satisfaction to all those participating. At the start it was not r uch more than an ideal, and a number of people lwith a keen interest in the ideal entertained serious doubts that ‘completion would be realized in \so rellativ â€"ly short a time. That is was attained in full measure reflects great credit on the people at the site who were determined that Warsak would be remembered as proof that men of goodwill can work to- gether towards a common ideal even though they started off with little knowledge and under- standing of each other. “The Liberal” wishes to thank C.

May Extend Road If Traffic Heavy Toronto and York Roads Com- mission is presently engaged in a traffic survey which may de- termine the future of Bayview Avenue. Purpose of the traffic count, which is taking‘place on Bay- view, is to find out how much traffic is for Richmond Hill and how much is through traffic. If the traffic count indicates that there is a substantial am~ ount of through traffic, Bayview would be extended through to the Stouffville Road, according to A. J.

Crop Situation In York County Helped By Rain The rain which fell this week in most parts of York County will bring some relief to area farmers, according to Agricult. ural Representative A. A. Wall of Newmarket. According to Mr. Wall, many farmers had already been for- ced to start using winuter feed to supplement scanty pastures. Mir. Wall said that the effect of feed shortages and increased feed prices would not be dis- astrous because cattle prices are also rising. About one-third of the wheat in the area has been cut, along with a little spring grain. Mr. Wall reports that yields are only average. but quite good considering the dry weather we have had.
