Wood Stove Pipe Line - The work covered by this contract involved demolition and salvage of 4260 feet of 11 ft. diameter wood stove pipe and reconstruction of an equivalent pipe including new concrete foundations, new steel saddles, new stoves, bands and all other accessories. Time was the critical point of this contract, the Utah Power and Light Company being able to shut down their Grace, Idaho plant only thirty days. All preparations for the work was performed ahead of time, procurement and distribution of materials and supplies along the right of way. Actual demolition and reconstruction of the 4260 linear feet of pipe re- quired only eighteen days of three shift construction. Filling, testing, repairing and adjusting were carried on for eight more days. Just twenty-six days after commencing work the pipe line was back in operation and the Grace Powerhouse put back on line, four days less than allowed under the contract.
