. Electric railway journal . NAL 7i POWER PLANT EXTENSION FOR THE UTAH LIGHT &RAILWAY COMPANY An instance of rapid power plant construction will befound in the extension to the Jordan steam station of theUtah Light & Railway Company at Salt Lake City, Utah, which was designed and constructed by Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Company, constructing engineers, NewYork City. The original station was built in 1910 and con-sisted of an 8500-kw single-unit steam turbine station, de-signed to act as an adjunct to various hydroelectric plantsoperating in the vicinity and also to form the nucleus forsuch steam generating equipment as might be later requiredto serve Salt Lake City. The new work, which consists of an extension to the oldstation, comprises in general a brick and steel building, approximately 100 ft. x 60 ft. The building walls rest on apile concrete mattress composed of 36-ft. piles, overlaidwith about 3 ft. of concrete. Condenser intake and overflowflumes are formed in the foundations. The boiler room. Utah Light & Power—General View of Salt Lake CityPower Plant consists of a steel frame structure supporting an overheadcoal bunker with brick walls and concrete floor and roof.The turbine room is similarly constructed, the only steel, however, being in the crane rails, floor beams and rooftrusses. The new boiler equipment consists of six Stirling boilersand Roney mechanical stokers, supplied with natural draftby means of a radial brick stack 11V2 ft. in diameter by225 ft. in height. The boilers operate at 200-lb. pressureand 125 deg. superheat. The piping is thoroughly modern, designed with welded flanges for high-pressure work andcast-steel fittings and valve bodies. Valve seats, disks andspindles are of Monel metal, particular attention being givento providing for expansion and contraction in view of thehigh steam pressure and the superheat. In this station it was not necessary to store coal in largequantities and the coal and ash handling equipment is com-parativel
