Rochestown Friary / Plan and Section for Proposed Sewer

96 cm x 73 cm; architectural and engineering survey map on paper; features black ink drafting, hand-coloured red ink/watercolour infrastructural detailing, and blue watercolour wash

A civil engineering survey and infrastructural design map titled ‘Rochestown Monastery Proposed Sewer’, drafted by consulting civil engineer Desmond McAteer. The document is divided into two primary registers: a top layout plan mapping out a topographical pipeline trajectory from the ‘Rochestown Monastery’ complex on the left, moving eastward alongside ‘Rochestown Mills’ to a final outfall point at the Douglas River (emphasized in a blue watercolour wash), with the entire proposed route highlighted explicitly by a hand-painted red line; and a bottom section displaying a corresponding cross-sectional engineering profile that plots ground levels, pipe slope gradients, and invert levels to illustrate the vertical drop from the church steps down to the river bed.
