The face was composed of ferro-cor.crete piles and concrete slabs. The Harbour Board had been pumping 6poil from the dredge into the reclamation area and evidently the pressure from the spoil and water against the face was too heavy and at low water it gave way. The 4 ama & e . is estimated at not less than £25,000.
