When completed in- 1959, the expansion will nearly double the Napa plants pipemaking capacity, making it one of the largest plants in the world for fabrication of pipe line for petroleum and gas transmission. Major facilities under construction include a 56,000 square foot addition to the pipe fabrication plant to house additional welding, facing, expanding and testing facilities, new buildings, and more handling and storage areas. The Napa plant produces elec- -' to 20 trie weld pipe from 6 in diameter and expanded fusion weld pipe from 20 to 36 in diameter. The new facilities will make it possible for this plant to produce pipe up to 42j inches in' diameter. pie expansion is aimed at keeping pace with the demand for large diameter line pipe, especially for gas and petroleum pipelines planned for construction in the western United States and Canada. The expansion of the Napa Fabricating Division is in addition to Kaiser Steels current expansion program of its Fontana steel mill. This latter expansion, now more than 50 per cent completed, will virtually double Kaiser Steels steelmaking capacity. A part of the increased' output of steel plate from the Fontana mill will be utilized for the additional pipe production at the Napa fabrication plant. - .
