Hot Asphalt Mixing Milestone In Road Building A this kind of milestone in road-suifaujobs is being achieved summer on the six-nn- stietch fiom the Idahn-Uta- h line south to the vicinity of Jvorth Cache High School, The work is being dor.e by the Olof Nelson Construction Co The unique thing about this paiticular road job is the part being played by the company's huge hot asphr.lt mixing plant which is in operation just north of Richmond This plant, which was designed and built by C. M Jones, superintendent for the Olof Nelson company, incorporates many featuies of a revolutionary nature It is probably the only mixing plant of its type in operation in the country today. Unique features are the plants capacity, which makes possible the rapid completion of road jobs (Mr Jones estimates that 27,000 tons of surfacing will be laid on stretch in 25 days); the its compactness, and its marvelous moveabtlity. Older Tjpe The older type of plant was in large elected and sections. It was an expensive and oftep very the hazardous job, necessitating The plant use of huge crqnes designed by Mr. Jones has It own and disfacilities for election assembly, and can be moved from one construction job to the other with relative ease. The various sections fit together something like the sections of a folding telescope. There Is another feature which contributes greatly to the plants moveabtlity, and this is a case where the destgnei, Mr. Jones, of the was smart enough n or so large obvious. A tanks with capacities up to 6,000 gallons are used at the plant They hold the various grades of oil which is fed Into the mixer. Formerly it was necessary to make a separate trucking trip wh each tank. On this plant they have been designed each somewhat smaller than the next, so that one will fit Inside the other and all or several can be moved in one operation.
