JOY # Consistently a winner and yet perhaps not as well SOMASTICknown as other company di visional activities is the oper ation of the Somastic Divi sion. Heading up in the Los Angeles area with its central Pip* PROTECTION manufacturing plant located in Watson at 223rd and Ala Corrosion damage can be prevented before it starts by meda Blvd., near Wilming ton, trained crews apply using Somastic pipe coating. Somastic pipe coating using special plant equipment on new or reconditioned pipe. By coating pipe with Somastic pipe coating, corrosion damage can be prevented be fore it-starts. Long range ex perience has demonstrated under the most severe tests in highly corrosive locations for already known periods of seventeen years that this im pervious coating has proved the staying quality of its pro tection. Authentic records established in the A.P.I. tenyear pipe coating test* andon thousands of miles of op erating lines have furnished conclusive evidence of the ef fectiveness of this coating. Somastic pipe coating is a special mixture of asphalt mix mastic compounded to rigid specifications and firmly bonded to the pipe as a thick seamless coating. Overlapping field joints of the same mixture make this protection continuous along the pipe line. With its. central plant located in an area of pipe line concentration and equipped to cozt pipe ranging in diameter from Yi" to 26", BCo's Watson Somastic pipe coating yard also maintains a reconditioning plant for used pipe as well as a wrapping opera tion for pipe that does not require Somastic pipe coating treatment. In the field, rail head plants can be set up near the line to be coatedr'or Somastic pipe coating may be ap plied over the trench by mobile equipment. ' The big job of turning out "the answer to the soil corrosion problem" is in the hands of Somastic Division Manager Jasper S. (Jap) Connell and his hard working crew of super tective coating including prevention of elec trolysis to deterioration from chemical or bacterial action as well as mechanical relief from distortion, mechanical shock from han dling and stock piling and maintenance of ductility to withstand field bending or move ment, the Somastic Division can claim among its satisfied users large pipe line operators, oil companies, gas and water and public utilities companies. Somastic is manufactured and applied in the 11 western states and on foreign locations by Bechtel Corporation, and in the states east of the Rocky Mountains by H. C. Price Co. with whom BCo.'s organiza tion has been associated in the handling of Somastic for a number of years. visors, field office personnel and yard oper ating forces totaling some 125 persons.
