This work took several months. When finally solved our firm began construction of a required box culvert with approximate demensions of 101 x 121' surrounding the existing San Francisco water pipe. Final concrete pours will be made on this box September 12th. Twenty—eight days thereafter we will begin our filling over the top of the box.
