“After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.”
The section is repaired by "the Tekoites, from their city, as far as the great projecting tower" (mentioned again in verse 27), suggesting that Tekoite builders undertook substantial portions of the work and that their contribution extended beyond a single section. The repeated mention of the great projecting tower indicates its particular strategic or logistical importance; this tower may have served as a major defensified position or as an important reference point for coordinating the overall reconstruction effort.
