Post Office
THE first stage in the building of Suva’s new five-storeyed Post Office involves the sinking of 21 con- Crete caissons, which will form part of the found ations. When the building is com plete, some of the caissons will carry as much as 150 tons. More than 20 ft high, with an external diameter of 6 ft, the caissons will rest on the soap stone which will carry the founda tions of the building. The Post Office, ultimately covering the site of the present venerable struc ture, will be built in three stages.
