Pier Erosion

.

The old Indian River Inlet Bridge is supported by piers that have been steadily eroding in the swift tidal currents between the Atlantic ocean and Indian River Bay. There have been five bridges built on this very site since 1934. The state of Delaware is building a cable stay bridge across the inlet in 2010 but back in 2005 there were plans for a very different bridge in the works.

Masonry Piers

.

AKA: ~

Location: Lewes, Delaware

Additional Information: These 5 masonry piers and the 2 connected to the foundation wall are designed to support a girder that will be a primary structural element in the floor system. The close proximity of the piers to one another also hints that they are intended to support structure beyond the first floor.

The fact that the piers are built to the same height as the foundation tells us that the beam they support will be within the floor system and require joists to be connected to it by joist hangers. This will also allow any load bearing walls to be built directly on the girder.

Trench Box

AKA:  Trench Shield, Trench Shore

Location: Johnson's Corner, Delaware

Additional Information:  With the help of a Cat 345B excavator, workers laying sewer pipe, are about to lower a steel trench box into the ground. Trench boxes are used to temporarily shore the sides of excavations so contractors can perform their duties safely, without fear of collapse.
