Show 17 - Beneficiation Plant (San Nicolas) in Peru for the Marcona Mining Company in the amount of $25,000,000. 18 - Sports Ground Preparation Sports ground preparation for General Motors-Holdens at Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. The project included the preparation of a fine 14 acre sports ground for the use of employees. Ideally located on rising ground fronting the factory, the preparation of the site required the movement of 43,000 cubic yards of soil, levelling and surfacing. The work was completed in twenty-three days and now provides the site for the cricket pitch, a running track, a football ground and facilities for golf practice, 5 tennis and 3 basketball courts and 1 bowling green. Approximate cost of this project was $155,000. 19 - Warehouse and Isotope Shelter in Australia for General Motors- Holden in the amount of $25,000. 20 - Radio-Active Isotope Project This work was done for Westminster Carpets Pty. Ltd. at Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. The project required the erection of a 24,400 sq. ft. building, an isotope blockhouse with 6 foot thick walls and roof containing 600 cubic yards of concrete, a stainless steel, concrete encased underground tank to house the isotope source tubes, and an intricate system of instrumenta- tion and automatic controls, including a remotely controlled conveyor and water purification plant. This project represents the first commercial use in Australia of radio-active isotopes for sterilization of raw materials for industry. The basic nuclear section was designed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Commission, and provision was made for the Melbourne University to operate a research laboratory on the site. Utah specialist engineers acted as design consultants and undertook all civil engineering construction on the project. Approximate cost of this project was $220,000. 21 - Office and Store in Australia for Victa Consolidated Industries in the amount of $60, 000. 22 - Circular Ramp Garage A circular ramp garage in Seattle, Washington, for the Sierra Corporation in the amount of $2,200,000.

It might be added that during the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, the garage was a substantial money earner for the company. |
