JEDENOFF General Superintendent, Geneva Works, United States Steel Corp., gives news on expansion. Geneva Steel Works Discloses Expansion Plans for Plant U.S. Steel Corp announced last week expansion of its nitrogen ni-trogen plant and detailed new installations for steelmaking at its Geneva Works. The announcement was made against a background of fall employee layoffs at the Utah County plant, totaling more than 1,000 workers and attributed attri-buted to reduction in orders and increases in steel imports. Positive Response G. A. Jedenoff , works general superintendent, remarked in an address to newsmen prior to a tour of the plant: "The major expenditures by U.S. Steel in new or improved facilities at Geneva, that I am proud to announce today, prove that our employees are making mak-ing a dynamic, positive response re-sponse to the challenge from overseas. it Work underway at the plant includes installation of a new coil welder for steel strips to be welded on production line and increased coal weights, two plate levelers to insure flatter steel, a piler crane to handle plates to 125 feet in length (tripling size now handled) and a third soaking pit crane to move hot ingots. Target Early '66 The new equipment will be installed for use early in 1966. Management also detailed installations in-stallations that have just been completed: 1. New coilers to increase size and compactness of coils, the majority of which are sent to U.S. Steel's Pittsburg, Calif., Works for processing into tin-plate, tin-plate, galvanized sheet and cold and hot-rolled sheets for the western market. 2. An improved runout table to convey the hot rolled strips at quicker speeds under new cooling water sprays. Flatter sheets 3. A sheet lever to produce flatter sheets through a series of adjustable rolls. 4. Improved descaling operations opera-tions to remove harmful scale during rolling of strip or plate steel. High pressure water jets wash away scale. Work will start early next year on installation of an additional addi-tional nitric acid plant and allied processing facilities that will boost by about one-third Geneva's capacity for production produc-tion of ammonium nitrate products pro-ducts for fertilizers. Multimlllion Outlay U.S. Steel management said that for competitive reasons, the cost of the hew installations could not be disclosed, but the . amount would total in the multi-million dollars. There have also been recent additions to the pipe mill. Mr. Jedenoff cited the economic eco-nomic disadvantages at Geneva Works from its inland location and large foreign imports as serious problems facing the -Utah industry. materials and safe from enemy attack, Geneva today faces heavy challenges for the market's mar-ket's more than 80 per cent of its production must serve on the West Coast. "Other American producers, including U.S. Steel, also have begun shipping semi-finished steel inexpensively by water from the East to the West Coast via the Panama Canal, at costs below those Geneva presently can match," Mr. Jedenoff said. Japan Inroads He claimed Japan, which has increased its rated ingot capacity capac-ity in 15 years from 13 to 46 million tons, will ship this year into the Geneva Works' marketing mar-keting area the equivalent of two steel plants the size of the Utah plant. "Outside of our own bootstraps, boot-straps, there is no hope, in my opinion for a change in these conditions to our favor in the foreseeable future," Mr. Jedenoff Jed-enoff said.
