== Preliminary events ==
For early 19th century, de idea say make dem dig canal thru de isthmus of Suez begin attract plenty attention across Europe. People begin show more interest secof European empires dey expand go Asia for de 19th century.<ref name=":0" />
Napoleon surveyors for ein Campaign insyd Egypt find say about 9 m difference dey between de water levels of de two seas. Buh de surveys wey [[Paul-Adrien Bourdaloue]] do for 1847 during expedition by de Société d'Études du Canal de Suez be de first evidence wey people generally accept say actually no level difference dey between de two seas. During de same expedition, [[Alois Negrelli]], wey be Austrian railroad pioneer, explore de bay of Pelusium for de northern end of de canal wey dem plan. Buh secof the political troubles for 1848, dem no continue plus de project. On 30 November 1854, De Lesseps get de first concession from Muhammad Sa'id for de [[Suez Canal]], wey base on De Lesseps ein request, Linant-Bey den Mougel-Bey ([[Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds|Linant de Bellefonds]] den [[Eugène Mougel]]), two senior French engineers for de Egyptian canal administration, prepare de first canal draft. Right from de beginning, De Lesseps ein main goal be say make de canal project get as much international political support as possible. Secof dat, for de second den more detailed [[firman (decree)|firman]] of 19 May 1855, de viceroy order make dem improve de first draft den submit am to one international commission of experts make dem discuss den evaluate am.

On 31 December 1855, dem carry de group enter de Egyptian frigate ''Le Nil'', wey dem reach Alexandria on 2 January 1856. De discussion about more soundings wey Mr. Larousse, one French navy hydrologist wey dem assign to de commission, do during dat time, end with de conclusion say de entrance of de canal suppose shift go more west (for wer Port Said dey now) secof de water deep pass, even though e go add 6 km to de length of de canal. Dem sanso propose say make dem protect de entrance plus one 3.5 km long northern jetty plus one 2.5 km long southern jetty, wey make dem build one lighthouse.
On 2 January 1856, dem submit one preliminary report to de Viceroy wey talk say one direct canal across de isthmus be de only sensible alternative, but de full details go come for de final report after more investigations. After dat, de viceroy issue de second concession to De Lesseps.
== De commission's deliberations ==
De whole commission meet again for 23 June 1856 for Paris (Rendel no fit attend, Negrelli and Montesino come de next day).<ref name=":5">{{cite journal |title=Obituary. John Robinson Mcclean, Former President and Vice-President, M.p., F.r.s., 1813-1873 |journal=Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers |date=January 1874 |volume=38 |issue=1874 |pages=287–291 |doi=10.1680/imotp.1874.22770 |doi-access=free }}</ref> For three days, de members discuss de results of de investigations for Egypt plus all de details about de future canal. Everybody agree say make dem build de canal just as Negrelli first propose, wey be canal wey no go get locks, go pass de lower level Bitter Lakes (wey de canal go flood) without any dams anaa dikes. De canal suppose get depth of 8 m den width of 100 metres for water level plus 64 metres for bottom. Buh for one particular section, e go get width of only 80 m for water level den 44 m for bottom.
=== Options Proposed by John Robinson McClean den Charles Manby ===
For ein presidential address for 1864 to de Institution of Civil Engineers, John Robinson McClean explain ein view about de two different systems wey dem propose for de construction of de Canal. McClean den Manby no agree plus de conclusion of de majority of de commissioners about de type of project. Instead, dem propose canal wey go dey twenty-five feet above sea level, plus locks wey be like de ones for Caledonian Canal. Dis one different from de majority decision wey support sea-level canal wey no get locks. De comparison of de two systems dey insyd appendix of McClean ein 1864 address, wey he explain wetin e think about both proposals as dem summarize below.<ref name=":4">{{cite journal |last1=Mcclean |first1=J R |title=Presidential Address of John Robinson M'clean, January 12, 1864 (Including Appendix) |journal=Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers |date=January 1864 |volume=23 |issue=1864 |pages=151–167 |doi=10.1680/imotp.1864.23280 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/1688794 }}</ref>
==== First System (Adopted by Majority of Commissioners) ====
* Di canal level go match de low water level of de Mediterranean Sea for Said.
* Dem estimate say de total excavation wey dem go need be 130 million cubic metres, den half of am go need dredging.
* Dem expect say e go hard well-well to build de harbour for Suez secof coral reefs den hard sands fit dey der.
* E need plenty money plus dredging work before dem fit establish port for Lake Timsah.
==== Second System (Proposed by McClean den Manby) ====
* De water level for de canal go dey 7 metres above de low water level of di Mediterranean Sea.
* De total embankment wey dem go need no go pass 70 million cubic metres secof dem carefully choose de canal route.
* All de excavation go happen above natural drainage, wey go make construction fast thru railways plus locomotive engines.
* De construction of Suez Harbour no go need dredging secof dem go use locks for deep water.
* De higher canal level for Port Timsah mean say no need locks for der, wey go reduce construction cost.
* Dem sanso propose new irrigation method wey go use de canal draw water direct from de [[Nile]], so no need separate conduit, plus de canal fit serve as reservoir during Nile floods.
* De high-level system no go get water supply problems like salt deposits den dependence on tides, wey dey happen for de low-level system.
===British opposition to de canal===
British proposals still insist say difference dey between de water level of de Red Sea den Mediterranean Sea of about 7 metres, even though survey work since 1847 already show say dat no be true.<ref>{{cite thesis |last1=Bradshaw |first1=Dan F |title=A decade of British opposition to the Suez Canal project, 1854–1864 |date=1973 |id=ProQuest 287954768 OCLC 1035380473 |hdl=11244/3693 |hdl-access=free }}</ref><ref name=":6">{{cite journal |last1=Bell |first1=K. |title=British Policy Towards the Construction of the Suez Canal |journal=Transactions of the Royal Historical Society |date=December 1965 |volume=15 |pages=121–143 |doi=10.2307/3678819 |jstor=3678819 |s2cid=154157309 }}</ref> Opposition against de canal from British engineers, wey dey include McClean, Manby, den Robert Stephenson, show for different engineering publications for Britain den oda places too.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stephenson |first=R. |author-link=Robert Stephenson |date=1858 |title=Canal del Istmo de Suez |trans-title=Isthmus of Suez Canal |url=https://quickclick.es/rop/detalle_articulo.php?registro=624&anio=1858&numero_revista=20 |journal=Revista de Obras Públicas |language=es |volume=6, tomo I |issue=20 |pages=237–241 }}</ref> Stephenson talk against any possible involvement for Suez canal scheme for Parliament during 1857 and 1858.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book |last=Rolt |first=L.T.C. |title=George and Robert Stephenson: The Railway Revolution |date=1978 |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=978-0-14-007646-2 |series=Pelican biographies |location=Harmondsworth, Middlesex }}</ref>

De final report get 195 pages plus plans, technical tables, anaa oda tinz. Dem publish am for December 1856, den de Khedive for Egypt accept am. De report explain why e be important make dem connect de two seas direct, plus all de technical details about de canal, wey dey include de ports wey dem go build, telegraph lines wey dem go install along de canal, ferries wey dem go introduce, plus lighting for de Mediterranean coast den de whole Red Sea, wey dey include lighthouses, buoys den oda navigation equipment. Like dem already talk for de preliminary report, dem suggest say ''Port Said'' go be de name of de port for de northern entrance.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal |last1=Hartley |first1=Sir C |title=A short history of the engineering works of the Suez Canal |journal=Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers |date=January 1900 |volume=141 |issue=1900 |pages=157–194 |doi=10.1680/imotp.1900.18688 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/1882936 }}</ref>
One of de main decisions be say dem no go build continuous embankments for places wey de canal pass thru de Bitter Lakes secof dem see say e no be necessary. De report still decide say locks for both ends of de canal no go be needed secof de lakes go reduce tidal currents. E sanso specify de dimensions of de canal wey dem recommend say de depth make e be 8 metres (approximately 26.4 feet), plus enough width wey go allow two ships pass each oda while one extra ship fit still stand for one side.<ref name=":2">{{cite journal |last1=Fox |first1=D |last2=Barry |first2=J W |last3=Harcourt |first3=L F V |last4=Dawes |first4=E |last5=Appleby |first5=C J |last6=Bell |first6=J R |last7=Corthell |first7=E L |last8=Wells |first8=L B |last9=Hartley |first9=C |title=Discussion: A short history of the engineering works of the Suez Canal |journal=Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers |date=January 1900 |volume=141 |issue=1900 |pages=195–212 |doi=10.1680/imotp.1900.18689 }}</ref>
De proposed width be approximately 64 metres (210 feet) for de bottom den 97.5 metres (320 feet) for de top between de Red Sea den de Bitter Lakes. Between de Bitter Lakes den de Mediterranean, de proposed width be approximately 43.9 metres (144 feet) for de bottom den 79.9 metres (262 feet) for de top.
De Commission prefer make dem build de jetties direct into de sea from Port Said instead of de earlier proposal near de Gulf of Pelusium. Dem take dis decision based on de recommendation of Mr. Larousse, one French Navy hydrographer. E show say enough depth of 8 metres dey nearer to Port Said than de eastern entrance wey dem first propose. After dem consider de cost of building de jetties den de advantage of de steep sea-bed slope, dem conclude say Port Said be de best choice.<ref name=":1" />
For Port Said, de final design of de jetties, wey dey include dema length den de way dem go construct dem, later follow advice from Mr. Pascal, Inspector-General of Roads and Bridges. For Port Tewfik, dem decide say one jetty alone go do. Everybody agree on de arrangement of de inner harbour works wey dem need for both ends of de canal. Dem recommend say de western den eastern jetties for Port Said make dem be approximately 2987 metres (9,800 feet) den 1829 metres (6,000 feet) long. De starting width go be approximately 1280 metres (4,200 feet), while de ending separation go be approximately 701 metres (2,300 feet). De channel wey go pass along de western jetty go be approximately 100.6 metres (330 feet) wide den 9.1 metres (30 feet) deep, plus direction northeast by 2 degrees north.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Denison |first1=Sir W T |title=THE SUEZ CANAL |journal=Minutes of the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers |date=January 1867 |volume=26 |issue=1867 |pages=442–448 |doi=10.1680/imotp.1867.23168 }}</ref>
For de report, de commission clearly talk say dem finish all de duties wey dem get wey dem plete all dema work. Dem sanso talk say dem hope say dem go build de canal very soon, buh dem no comment in any way about how de future construction work go happen anaa who go manage am.
