Clause 7 unambiguously defined completion as the date of casting the last caissons (9 December 1965); the load test in Clause 12 was a subsequent contingent obligation, not a condition precedent to payment; the defendant's withholding of the final instalment constituted breach allowing the plaintiff to suspend further performance and recover the outstanding $245,000; therefore judgment entered for plaintiff with costs and defendant's counterclaim dismissed.
