The work in the Engineering Department has been carried on during this year by two Town Engineers. Mr. Charles T. Gilliard served in this capacity from January 1, 1949 through August 31, 1949 at which time he was forced to retire because of ill health. The present Town Engineer was appointed on September 6, 1949 and entered upon his new duties on October 3, 1949.
It is with extreme regret that we record that Mr. Charles T. Gilliard, former Superintendent and former Town Engineer, passed away on October 23, 1949 after a very short but severe illness. It is felt that he would have been of great assistance to the present engineer during the time in which he has been becoming acquainted with his new duties.
Engineering service and advice has been furnished to the various departments and boards of the Town when and as re- quested.
Assistance has been furnished to all engineers, surveyors, con- tractors and property owners who have called upon this office for information. This public service has been as liberal and complete as the personnel and equipment of this office would permit.
During the latter part of the year a survey of the office layout and equipment was made, and as a result of the recommendations made by your engineer certain necessary items of surveying and engineering equipment were purchased to augment the then existing equipment. The transit was sent to the Buff and Buff Company of Jamaica Plain, for a complete overhaul, cleaning and adjustment. A few technical books were purchased to serve as a start of an engineering library. The contents of the plan files have been examined and rearranged. Excess duplicates and other useless documents have been discarded. A card index filing system for all plans has been set up and a portion of the plans have been
179
indexed. There still remain many more plans to be properly in- dexed at the earliest opportunity; but once this backlog has been eliminated it will be very simple to index and file new accessions thereby making them readily available.
The old wall-mounted master plans of the sewer and water systems were discarded and new prints made which were brought up to date as of November 1949.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES
Studies were made and a plan prepared to show a proposed relocation and widening of the upper section of Chestnut Street abutting the property of G. Richard Abbott. However, since a mutually satisfactory agreement could not be reached between the parties concerned no construction work was performed on this project.
Studies were also made for the widening of a portion of Das- comb Road opposite Blood Road abutting the property of John Gardner Greene and the road at this point was widened fifteen feet thereby greatly reducing the degree of curvature and im- proving the sight distance.
A new steel bridge was installed over the Shawsheen River at Central Street to replace an old timber bridge built about 1925 from second hand timbers. The sidewalk portion of this bridge had completely collapsed and the roadway stringers were so de- cayed that nothing short of complete replacement was recom- mended by the engineer who investigated the structure.
The new bridge is of the steel stringer type with open steel flooring, concrete curbs, creosoted wood sidewalk and with steel guard railings on each side. This new bridge is rated for an H-20 loading and its design for this load approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works as required by law.
During the removal of the old bridge and before the new bridge was erected the contractor placed an envelope of rein- forced concrete around both abutments, the purpose of which was to retain the old dry rubble walls which showed signs of progress- ive failure. This reinforced envelope extends from below the stream bed to the bridge seats and completely encloses the old breast walls and wing walls.
An existing eight-inch steel gas main was maintained in service
180
during construction and is now supported on brackets from the upstream side of the bridge. An eight-inch cast iron water main was removed from the old bridge; but provision for its replace- ment has been made and brackets were furnished on the down- stream railing for this purpose.
Construction work for the bridge and abutments was performed by the Atlantic Steel Company of Winthrop, Mass. under a lump sum contract of $12,444.44. The bridge was re-opened to traffic on August 6, 1949. Patching and paving at the approaches was performed by the Board of Public Works Highway Department. The installation of additional protective chain link fencing on the bridge and approaches was performed by G. A. Nesbitt and Son for the contract amount of $351.00.
A new steel bridge was constructed over the Shawsheen River at Stevens Street to replace an old steel thru-girder bridge built about 1884. This old bridge was badly corroded in certain loca- tions, maintenance on the plank flooring was rather expensive and its safe load capacity was far below present day highway requirements. Structural investigations made during recent years by Thomas Worcester Inc. of Boston, The Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Works, and Clinton F. Goodwin of Haverhill, Mass. were all unanimous in their results: the bridge could not be rated for more than a six ton loading and considerable alterations would have to be made to rate the bridge for fifteen tons, which is still a sub-standard loading.
Upon the recommendation of Clinton F. Goodwin, Registered Professional Engineer of Haverhill, Mass. it was decided to scrap the existing bridge and replace it with a new steel bridge of twenty ton capacity.
The new bridge is of the steel stringer type with open steel flooring, concrete curbs and steel guard railing. The sidewalk is of creosoted wood cantilevered on the upstream side of the bridge by steel brackets. This new bridge is rated for an H-20 loading and its design for this loading approved by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Works as required by law.
The abutments of this bridge were in good condition and the only concrete work required was that necessary to adjust the bridge seats for the new bearing plates and expansion plates.
An existing six inch cast iron water main was removed from the old bridge and replaced on the downstream side of the new bridge. Brackets on the downstream railing support this pipe.
181
Construction work for the bridge and abutments was per- formed by Munroe-Langstroth Inc. of North Attleboro, Mass. under a lump sum contract of $13,305.00. The bridge was re- opened to traffic on August 12, 1949. Patching and paving at the approaches was performed by the Board of Public Works. The installation of additional protective chain link fencing on the bridge and approaches was performed by G. A. Nesbitt and Son for the contract amount of $305.20.
The design and supervision of construction for both the Central Street Bridge and the Stevens Street Bridge was performed by the office of Clinton F. Goodwin, Registered Professional En- gineer of Haverhill, Mass.
As a result of investigations of the strength of the Andover Street Bridge over the Shawsheen River in Ballardvale, it had been recommended that certain minimum repairs be made there in order that the bridge might sustain at least eight ton loadings.
The original U-bolts which connect the floor beams to the bottom chord of the trusses were greatly reduced in cross section due to corrosion through the years since 1874 when this bridge was erected. This major point of weakness was corrected in De- cember 1949 when the Board of Public Works installed auxiliary steel U-bolts at each panel point. This strengthening enabled the bridge rating to be raised from four tons to eight tons.
It is felt that this bridge, nearly seventy-six years old, has outlived its useful and economic life, and whereas it may continue to carry reduced loads for several more years, some serious thought should be given to the desirability of constructing a new bridge at this location. Should a new bridge be constructed at some future date it will be necessary to rebuild the existing abut- ments and approach walls which are presently in an unstable condition. It has been estimated that the cost of a new bridge and the abutment work would entail an expenditure of between $30,000.00 and $40,000.00.
WATER SYSTEM
Record drawings and sketches, showing the location and extent of water mains constructed and house services installed during the year, were made for the permanent files.
Assistance has been furnished to the Water Department in
182
locating gate valves, mains, and services for repair or mainten- ance work.
Studies and estimates of cost have been prepared for certain immediate and long range expansions and improvements to the water system.
From time to time inspections have been made of the water system facilities, and recommendations of an engineering nature regarding the system have been submitted to the Superintendent. Of particular interest in this connection is the pipe bridge over the Shawsheen River in the rear of The Watson-Park Company.
This bridge, built by the Watson-Park Company, serves as a private foot bridge for the company and at the same time carries a six inch water main connecting Tewksbury Street with Lowell Junction Road, and also carries a private water line connecting the company's plant with its private well. The bridge is now in a very dilapidated condition and is in need of replacement or re- pairs.
As a means of avoiding future maintenance at this location it is suggested that the Town's water main be removed from this bridge and placed in a trench under the river. Consideration should also be given to the construction of a connecting main on River Street to the present dead-end on Lowell Junction Road. This latter connection would more adequately protect the water service in Lowell Junction and at the same time eliminate the Town's dependency on a main now running thru private pro- perty. This latter main is included in long range planning and is estimated to cost $19,500.00.
SEWERAGE SYSTEM
In June 1949 a six inch sewer was constructed in Topping Road from Corbett Street easterly for a distance of 1158.8 feet. This work was done by the Board of Public Works under the supervision of the Town Engineer.
At the same time a connecting six inch sewer was built from an existing manhole in Corbett Street at Franklin Avenue, through Franklin Avenue, a private way, and through other private land to a manhole at the low point in the Topping Road sewer. The length of this sewer was 753.2 feet. This work was also done by the Board of Public Works under the supervision of the Town En-
183
gineer. A fifteen foot easement was acquired for the construction and maintenance of this sewer, and said easement was recorded in the Essex North District Registry of Deeds on April 26, 1949 in Book 722, Page 176.
An eight inch sewer was constructed in July 1949 on Morton Street to serve as a connection between the Chestnut Street sewer and the Andover Housing Authority's proposed project on Memorial Drive, so called. This sewer extends from the Chestnut Street sewer southerly along Morton Street for a distance of 630.1 feet. Lewis and Scott of Andover were the contractors for labor, installing materials furnished by the Board of Public Works. Design and supervision was by Clinton F. Goodwin of Haverhill, Mass.
A six inch sewer was built in Chestnut Street beginning at the end of the 1948 extension and extending easterly for a distance of 1251.8 feet or nearly to Highland Road. Construction of this sewer was performed during November 1949 by the Board of Public Works under the supervision of the Town Engineer.
A short extension of 87.5 feet of eight inch sewer was built in Ayer Street westerly from the existing end. Materials for this work were furnished by Mr. Frank Cairns and the construction performed by the Board of Public Works in November 1949 under the supervision of the Town Engineer.
The necessary design and construction drawings were prepared for the above mentioned sewers, and upon the completion of each section record drawings were made for the permanent files.
Assistance has been given from time to time to aid in locating existing house connections for repair purposes, and for the pur- pose of making connections at new buildings.
