THE COFFERDAM DESIGN IS DISCUSSED FOR PIER T-2 OF THE TOWN CREEK SPANS OF THE NEW COOPER RIVER BRIDGE, COVERING THE ADVERSE SOIL CONDITIONS AT THE SITE AS WELL AS THE DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS AND PROCEDURE. MUCH OF THE PAPER IS DEVOTED TO THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IN WHICH THE CONTRACTOR EMPLOYED VARIOUS EXPEDIENTS TO REDUCE THE COST OF COFFERDAM CONSTRUCTION. REDUCED COSTS WERE REFLECTED IN THE BID PRICE WHICH WAS BELOW THE ENGINEERS ESTIMATE. /AUTHOR/
