New York, New York
Gentlemen:
We submit herewtth Progress Report No, 10, covering work on our
sub-contract with the Hercules Powder Compan., for the CODStruction of
certain port1one of a plant for the manufacture of nitrocellulose S!!JOkoleee powder at Radford, Virginia, the principal contract for which was
awarded to the Hercules Powder Comp~ as Contract W-Ord. 462, AU8USt 16,

GENEBAL:
On

and

June 9th the locations of the 16 Staff Houses were staked out

we started general srad1ns immediately.

Because a great deal of rock

was encountered at this site, grad.ins operations absorbed most of the

month's work and very little was accomplished on the houses themselves.
Authorization was given us June 10th to reopen the Radford Village proJeot to be composed of 4} houses (two types) and l} gar86ee.
Layout and grading work was started 1lmnediately. June 20th, buildins
work was started with 19} men, and by the end of the month foundation
activities and some superstructures were well under way with a force of

/

�2.

7;8 men working 3 shifts, between the hours of 4 A.M.

and

8 P.M.

June 12th we were inst~ucted to build a wood framed Office and
change House to serve the magazine section of the Horseshoe Area.
Authorization for the construction of an 3 Unit Waste Acid
Neutralization Plant was issued on June 21st.

This plant consists of

an Acid Detention Basin and Pump House, 3 Reaction Tanks, Lime Control

House, two Pebble Lime Silos, and a railroad Unloading Pit for the lime.
Since the A &amp; B Acid and Nitro Cotton Areas he.d started operations on June 17th, it was necessary to provide a temporary method of
treating the waste acids from these areas pending completion of the
permanent plant.

To serve this purpose we started, on June 25th, to

construct a large pit with wooden baffles to retain and dilute the
waste acids for a short period before they were emptied into the New
River.
During the month several other small projects were authorized,
namely; 3 additional cinder block Guard Houses, l additional Sentry
Tower, and Solenoid Cage Assembly and a cinder block Trench Mortar Firing
Shelter to be located at the Gun Range in the Horseshoe Area.
On June 28th our plans for the foundations of the river crossing
towers for the Chronograph Signal Transmission Line were approved by
Hercules.

Work will be started on these foundations and anchors in July.

Heavy and continuous rainfall throughout the month of June caused
suspension of outside work on several days as well as reduced efficiency
due to the heavy mud.

�3.
Earth moving activities were considerably reduced this month.

Ae

a result of this reduction, some 32 pieces of heavy earth moving equipment
were released from service durine June.
A considerable amount Qf plant-mix binder was la.id on the pl.ant
roads despite the terrific amount of road cleaning necessary as a result
of the muddy ground conditions.
June 15th, the ?ower iiouse assumed tlle plant's power load.
Production Will atart shortly in a majority of the ''B" Powder
Line buildings. At the preaont time, production bas increased eo much
in the "A',. Smokeless Line that it ne,e become necessary to store powder in
the Horseshoe Area. Magazines.
Outside Steam Line construction ia proceeding satisfactorily since
Reid Hayden COJ:IpaDy has concentrated on outside insulation work.
Deliveries of bridse steel started J\me 5th, but none of the long
awaited girders arrived until June 25th.

Steel erection was beg,m

immediately upon receipt of the first girders.
At the end of June~ only 49 of all our proJecta, both partial and

complete construction, had been accepted

by-

Hercules.

To the best of our

knowledge many more of the authorized building~ and miscellaneous projects
have been completed, and we expect acceptance of them in the near future.
The delay in accepting proJecta ie apparently due to a decision on the
part of the Hercules enaineere t.o accept structures in groups, and not as

1nd1vidual units are completed.

�RADFORD VILLAGE:
General
On June loth, after a period of ooven oonthe a111ec the ceasat1on

GOVERNMENT VILLAGE:
Although grading was started on June 10th, work on the building
foundations was not started until June 23rd.
Prior to this time, a small crew of carpenters was erecting the
necessary temporary buildings and was pre-fabricating the foundation footing and wall forms.

�Thia village is to h?u,se 20 families in 16 houses - 6 Type I,

6

Type

GENERAL EXCAVATION

&amp;

GRADING:
Main Plant Area

General grad1Il8 operations were somewhat hindered this month by
tho l,arge number of ralni.T deye.

Earth moving oper.ationa were completely

'haltod on three and one-half days.
On Jwie 10th, clearing and grading operations were started at the
Government Village Site.

Rock ledg@. was found Just under the top soil 1n

several sect.ions of this area.

Drill.ins and blasting operations were

carried on along with the grading, and by the end of the month some 39,000
C Y of material, ~ earth and

50% rock, had been removed. Part of this

material was excavated at. individ~l buildj.ng sites and from sewer and
water trenches, but the major portion was general srading (551, complete
on J\.Ule 30th).

Clean up and dress grad.i.ng in the Acid A~~a, Ro.l led Powder ~ea,

and ''B" &amp; "C" Lines cal+ed for the ~ i n g of 57,000 C Y of earth•.
An

additional 13 1 000 CY of material,. vas rehandl,ed 1n the Green Powder

�c;ccti on of Powder Linc "C" ~

In order ·t o handle ·the cxccsoivc rainfall, approximatc~v 14,000

c y of earth waa removed in excavat1ng for drainage ditchos in the South

1nvolv0d the handline of 14,500 CY of earth.
In tho continuation.·of grading for the section of Patrol Road

thru tho Double Base Area, 20 1 000 C Y (9,000 C Y of rock) was removed • . •
On

June 5th, grading was started for the Access Road from Route

114 to the Rolled Powdor Line.• . Because this road follows the path of
an old farm road, grading for a 3,900' stretch of it called for tho removal
of only 5,000 CY of material 1n the widenin8 and straightening of the
existin8 road.
Horseshoe Arca
General clean up and dress gradiDB around the buildings 1n this
section called for the handling of 15 1 000 CY of earth.
Widening and cutting drainage ditches on five of tho ox1et1ng
road.fl required tho removal of 13,400 CY of oarth.

The relocation of

road #11, in order to place it alonsaide the recently authorized Powder
Loading Platform, called for the handling of 3,000 CY of earth.

out.

In order to take as much advantage of .good days as possible, the

road crews, placing binder and. rock aephalt,, started working 10-hour
days. on June 14th in addition:.-. to working Sundays.

PEBMANENT POWER LINF.S:
Considerable time wae spent early in the month completing the
lines for the Acid and Nitro Cotton Areas, in order that they might
go into operation on June 15th.
Re-arrangement of the 2300 volt line from the Power Hou.se to the
Pump House required more man-hours tAan

EUzy

other line worked on in June.

During the last week of the month, 3 crews devoted full time to
the erecting of the land sections of the Ballistic Circuit carrying the

Chronograph Signal Transmission Lines on both aides of the river.
Fonce and Streot L1(3ht1ng lines were concentrated on until the
urgency of the Ballistic Circuit requirod suspension of activities on
tho lighting lines.
The stringing of 64 milGs of outside line wire during June raised
the total of outside line copper in placo to 300\D]iles.

Too 23 pow0r lines in the main plo.nt ureo average 71% completion.
12 aub-atationa have been complGtod £1ll.d a.r~ in use.

Founda tion excavation was completed for the
Weigh House on July 11th, and the structure was complete
with exception of interior finish work on July 28th.
Nu.merous r evisions on substantially completed
buildings and poor delivery of electrical, plumbing and
heating materials , as well as operating equipment, has
hindered the comp letion of many of these buildings.

By

the end of July , with two exceptions, the other buildings
lacked only p lumbing , heating , and electrical work, plus
the installation of some equipmen t and touch up painting.
BRIDGE (To North Magazine Area):
In the deep girder length of the bridge from
pier #3 to the north abutment , there are nine field
splices for seven of which it was necessary to make use
of erection towers.

Three timber towers were constructed

for splices 3, 4, and 6, and they were reused on splices
7, 8 1 and 10.

In river s e ction these towers rested on

rock filled cribs.
On July 1st, with the fourth deep girder being
set in span 4 and the sp l i c e towe r being erected at
sp lice #6 , the first s ecti on of t he deck slab was poured
with the pump cr eto machine, previous ly used in concr e ting
th e cannon Range Tunnels.

PERMANENT POVJER LINES:

Although hampered by the weather, work progressed
satisfactorily on the plant light ing and power lines.
Road and fence lighting has been started.
All sub-stations average 90% completion.
Work on the land sections of the ballistic circuits is 40% complete, but the river crossing section
has not yet been started, due to lack of final design
information on the suspension structure.

70% of this rain-

fall took place in th e first fiv e days of the month.
Gr a ding ope rations were practically suspended,
material deliveries were made difficult, and much time
was lost cleaning the roads as a result of this concentrated rainfall .

ACCIDENTS:
2513 Mason and Hang er first a i d cases were treat-

ed during t he month of July.

50% of t he se were occupational

and 50;; non-occupati ona l .

usua l, half t he treatments

As

were hand and fin ge r c a s es.
Ten los t time e ases occurr ed :l.n July .

They re-

                  <text>Founded in Virginia in 1827 by Claiborne Rice Mason, Mason and Hanger was originally known as the Mason Syndicate. By 1885, the firm had re-located to Kentucky where it did major work for the Defense Department, National Aeronautics &amp;amp; Space Administration and the Atomic Energy Commission. Major projects include Carquinex Bridge, Michoud Assembly Facility, Grand Coulee Dam, Boston Traffic Tunnel and more. Project files contain the full range of documents relating to each project from initial bid to completion, including drawings &amp;amp; blueprints, construction logs, progress reports, payroll, photographs, correspondence, and legal documents. The collection also includes farm records from Silas Mason and Horatio Mason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only a portion of this collection has been digitized.
