The Shiffler Bridge Company, of Pittsburgh, has been awarded a contract
for the erection of a steel main building for anew steel plant that is
to be erected at Sharon, Pa., by the Sharon Steel Company. The company
is a new one which will go into the manufacture of pig iron and open
hearth steel, in competition with the consolidated steel and iron
concerns. A complete blast furnace plant, with one furnace for the
present and an open hearth plant will be built.
The plans for the blast furnace to be erected in connection with the
steel plant have been completed. ‘The furnace will be 100 feet in
height, and 21 feet in diameter at the bish, and will be constructed
for a capacity of 600 tons per day. The furnace will be of the modern
type of blast furnaces, which came into use with the blowing in of the
first of the four new furnaces of the Carnegie Steel Company at
Duquesne. Prior to that time a furnace which turned out 300 tons per
day was breaking a record. The pace in furnace construction set
by the Carnegie Steel Company is being followed, and the general lines
of the Duquesne furnaces, outside of the patented furnaces will be
utilized at Sharon. The furnace will have four hot blast stoves
of the Kennedy type, each 100 feet high and 25 feet in diameter.
When this furnace is constructed it will be so arranged that another
furnace of a twin design may be added to the plant and coupled on to
the hot blast stoves and the power engines.
The contract for the
engines has been awarded to William Tod & Co., of Youngstown, 0.
They will be two 1000 horse power each. The construction of the new
furnace will not begin until the spring and it is expected to have it
in operation within six months from the time work on its construction
is started, which will probably be in early March. —Pittsburgh
