Counterbore for countersinking wherever smooth faces are indicated or
specified.
3.1.2
Fender Systems
Face fender piles to receive chocks. Use only full-length timbers for
chocks and tightly fit against fender piles. Face fender piles to provide
a flat bearing against wales. Splice wales in location in a manner [as
existing] [as indicated]. Additional splicing of wales will not be
permitted. Bevel tops of fender piles outboard as indicated. Wrap pile
clusters with wire rope. Fasten wire rope with clips and staples.

Bulkheads
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Assure that the drawings show bulkheads of
sufficient height and width to prevent damage from
erosion both to the side and from beneath the
bulkhead. Where soil pressure against the bulkhead
is high, special anchorage measures may be needed,
such as tiebacks with concrete or timber dead-men or
bulkhead piles.
**************************************************************************
Make timber bulkheads at land end of pier of height and width indicated.
Provide special anchorage such as bulkhead piles or dead-men, as indicated.

Posts and Timbers
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Recommend use of 25 mm one inch diameter
dowels, bolts, and drift bolts in underwater or
splash zone conditions.
**************************************************************************
Provide even bearing for sills on mudsills, piles, or pedestals. Drift
bolt sills to mudsills, piles, or pedestals with bolts of at least [20]
[24] mm [3/4] [one] inch [the indicated] diameter that extend into
mudsills, piles, or pedestals at least 0 mm 6 inches. Cast dowels or bolts
into concrete pedestals. When indicated, remove earth from contact with
sills to provide for free air circulation. Saw posts for framed bents to
proper length (vertical or batter) and provide even bearing on pedestals or
sills. Fasten posts to sills with dowels of at least [20] [25] mm [3/4]
[one] inch [the indicated] diameter extending at least 150 mm 6 inches into
posts.
