PLANT DESIGNED FOR EMPLOYEES' WELFARE
A sten-H ill M anufacturing Co. Philadelphia, Penn.
The Ballinger Co., A rch itects an d Engineers
A PA JiT F R M T H E u s u a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s for efficient processing layouts, the designers of this asbestos
dryer felt plant were faced with a major problem of con trolling asbestos dust. Uncontrolled, the dust accumu lates on all projections and rough surfaces in process areas, and presents a silicosis-like health hazard to employees. Dependable control of temperature and humidity is also vital in manufacturing the felts. The goal of the owners was to construct a plant which would combine production efficiency and product control with pleasant and healthy working conditions.
The resulting design succeeds in providing good so lutions to these problems within a neat, attractive structure. Especial attention was given to the employ ees' welfare, even to selection of a site near the workers' homes, although it was known that the deeply filled ground would require pilings. Other provisions include a parking area, pleasant locker, shower and toilet rooms, good fighting, and a general purpose room for lunch and recreation. Asbestos dust is removed from segre gated process areas by a carefully planned system of hoods, ducts and fans, together with tunnels under the floor. The dust is then conveyed to electro-static filters and to a cyclone tower where it is salvaged for other use. A portion of the air is reconditioned for recirculation. Separate comfort air conditioning is provided in the office areas.
The one story plant Is surfaced with bands of light and dark brick, lime stone trim, polychrome terracotta at main door. Flat roof employs special regulated drainage discharge system
-109.
Provision of clean, comfortable working areas has considerably improved employees' morale, with resultant increased effi ciency. The well-lighted, air conditioned w eaving section ileftl is typical of these areas. The steel frame structure is de signed around a continuous materials flow line, passing successively through the blend ing, carding, twisting, spooling, spinning, weaving and calen dering departments. Expansion space for additional equipment (dotted lines on planI is pro % vided in each section. G la z e d tile walls and hung plaster ceilings in these areas help minimize dust problem. Ceilings are left exposed in such other rooms as the raw and finished materials section (top rightI. Offices (bottom rightl have plaster walls, acoustic ceilings, asphalt tile floors
