Kent it can't be tied into. The old pond is block- solid cores. The end that would be removed is exposed as it is a raised pond ( 3 feet above ground, 4 feet below ground. But that is the end the new section would built off of. The entire structure would be one pour with the cage from the new area going right into , and filling the floor and walls of the old pond. In other words, the new pond would be built within the old pond, using the old pond as the excavation for the new cage. It would be no different than pouring a pond on a hard excavated working floor and side wall supports.

Mike, I was expecting to hear 20- 25 M for the excavation ( two days at $1200 a day) . Demo , One day and two guys with jack hammer and backhoe ( $2500- $3000) one day to rough and then rebar, pour 18,000- 20,000. Can't see $60,000 - no way, no how. JR
