Sev- =] cral extensions have been made to the original plant during the past ten years, greatly increasing its capacity and efficiency, until at present it is one of the best shops of the Central West. The expansion of our business into territory in which our Des Moines factory would be at some freight dis- advantage and the desire to give the best possible service to our Eastern customers, induced us in 1907, to construct a factory in the Pittsburg District (the steel center of the United States). Thisfactory is located at Neville Island, a suburb of Pittsburg, and has been fitted especially for the man- ufacture of Water Towers, Stand Pipes and Structural Steel Work for buildings. Prior to becoming interested in the manufacturing of water towers, the members of our company were engaged in the con- struction of water works plants. We still continue this depart- ment in the Mississippi Valley territory; and have been connect- ed, either in the capacity of Designing Engineer or Sontractor, with the construction of more than two hundred water works plants in the cities and villages of lowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Mis- souri, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, and in addition have built water towers in nearly all the States of the Union. Our wide range of experience in this work has developed many economical designs. We take pleasure in handing youin this pamphlet a few cuts of some of this class of work which we have built, together with brief notes on Water Works construction. We shall be pleased to have any who are interested visit any of the work which we have built or address the proper authorities regarding same as we are confident commendatory reports will in all cases be made. Reference to the map at the center of this pamphlet will give the locations of many of the plants built by us. We solicit your inquiries. 4 DES MOINES BRIDGE AND IRON COMPANY ma) ATER WORKS SYSTEMS may be divided essentially Ii| into four parts, viz: The Source of Supply, the Pumping Apparatus, the Storage Reservoir and the Distributing System. By far the greater number of the water works plants of the Missis- sippi Valley secure their water supply from drilled or artesian wells. These wells vary greatly in depth. In some parts of the country a sufficient supply may be had at a depth of less than 100 feet, while in other parts there are wells as deep as 3,000 feet. The prevailing practice has been to make them 8 inches in diameter, cased with standard wrought iron pipe. A satisfactory supply has, in some instances, been secured from springs or from the gravel beds along a stream by means of filter gal- leries or drive well points. The style of pumping plant is determined largely by the nature of the water supply. For pumping from deep wells, some form of power pump is more economical than the direct acting steam pumps. These power pumps may be driven by gasoline engines, electric motors, steam engines or water power. Gasoline pumping plants have been extensively used during the past ten years, and are giving good satisfaction for small plants Where considerable water is to be handled, however, it can be done more cheaply ‘by installing a steam plant. DES MOINES BRIDGE' AND IRON COMPANY 5 Power Station and Water Tower at La Porte City, lowa Complete works built by us in 1896 The water supply for the La Porte City Plant was secured from gravel beds along the river by means of drive well points. A dam was also constructed across the river to furnish an additional supply for fire protection. DES MOINES BRIDGE AND IRON COMPANY Interior of Engine Room at Mayville, Wis. Showing two 20-H. P.

Of the storage reservoirs but few are built in the ground, as we do not often find convenient natural elevations for these, and we are left to choose between the standpipe and the elevated tank. Stand- pipes were much used fifteen or twenty years ago, but owing to their greater cost for a given efficiency, and the great danger of failure in high standpipes, there are but few being built now. Both wood and steel have been used for the construction of elevated tanks, and likewise, also, for the substructure. Stone and brick are occasionally used for the substructure, but usually at a greater cost. The wooden structure or tower was used for some time before designers adopted steel and a large number of these wooden towers have been replaced by steel ones. At first steel was used only for the tower portion, using wood for the tank as illustrated on the opposite page. The life of a wooden tower maybe said to be about twelve years, though they usually begin needing repairs at about eight years.

With wooden towers it was found desirable to Gi use twelve legs, and even more in case the tank was very Hemidiiient}) Jarve. The one shown on the opposite page had twenty legs. This was because a lesser number of 12x12s, the size of lumber most suitable, would not give sufficient cross-section to safely sustain the load. Later some designer of water towers conceived the idea of using steel instead of wood for his sub-structure, and by a simple process of substitution, we were given the twelve legged steel tower. Most builders have now, however, adopted the four-post design as being, everything considered, the best, except for tanks of very large capacities. Wooden tanks seldom proved satisfactory. They nearly always leaked more or less, were hard to keep painted, and were a constant menace to adjacent property due to the danger of wreckage by burst- ing of the hoops. Many wooden tanks have failed in this manner. The average life of a wooden tank is about fifteen years. When steel was first substituted for wood for the tank, the flat bottom type was used. This was uneconomical owing to the heavy decking or floor system required, and the inaccessibility of the under side of the flat bottom for painting was objectionable. A conical form has in some instances been used for tank bottoms but we know of nothing to recommend this type, while a few notable failures are recorded against it. The most practical and economical form for the bottom of steel tanks is the hemisphere. This has the advantage of economy of design, symmetry in appearance, convenience in cleaning and painting, and is approved by all the best engineers of the country. We have equipped our shops with special machinery for the manufacture of these tanks and also carry a stock of material for certain of the standard sizes so that we can get these out very quickly when time is an im- portant item. The cuts which follow show some of the hemispherical bottom steel tanks which we have recently built.

Many private concerns and institutions have installed them for fire protection and private water works. Thus many have been built for Parks, County Farms, State Institutions, Asylums, Warehouses, Mercantile Establishments, Factories, Street Car Barns, Cement Plants, etc. The increased use of Automatic Sprinkler Sys- tems in stores and factories has made a big demand for storage tanks. The danger from leakage in wooden tanks makes them especially undesirable for placing over buildings. It is always better where room is available to have a separate steel tower to support the storage tank. The cut on the opposite page shows such a tower built to afford additional fire protection to a woolen mills. This factory is located near the heart of the city, with the regular city fire hydrant at every block corner, but still a reduction of 75% in insurance rates was made this company due to the installation of this tower and the other con- necting appliances. Owing to a scarcity of ground, the tower was built over a regular city alley. Almost any Factory, Mill or other Institution having a consider- able fire risk, will greatly reduce the risk and at the same time save enough in reduced fire insurance premiums to pay for the improvement in from four to five years by installing one of our steel towers and tanks in connection with other proper equipment. Our water towers have been approved by the various Fire Insur- ance Underwriters and Inspection Companies. DES MOINES BRIDGE AND IRON COMPANY Water Tower at Sheuerman Bros.

First. The Council upon determining that a Water Works system is desirable for their town should at once call to their assistance a practical Water Works Engineer to consult with them as to the system best adapted to serve the local conditions; then have prepared brief preliminary plans and estimates of costs, together with a report suitable for publication in a local paper, so that the voters may be in- formed as to what can be expected for the money available, and con- sequently be able to vote intelligently. SECOND. Call an election in a proper manner and vote on the proposition as prescribed by the Statutes. Extreme care should be exercised throughout to have all proceedings legal, and to keep full and proper records, so that a complete transcript may be furnished when you want to sell the bonds. THIRD. If the vote carries, have your Engineer get out complete, detailed Plans and Specifications and forms for prcepcsals and contract. FourTH. While this work is going on the bonds should be adver- tised and sold, so that if possible, the money will be in the treasury when the contract is let. No careful contractor will start work before the Bonds are sold. FirtH. Advertise for bids and let a contract to some responsible contractor who has had experience in the class of work to be done. The letting of contracts without open competition is not only illegal but leaves the motives of the members of the council open to criticism. SixtH. If your plans and specifications have been carefully pre- pared and you let the contract to a reputable contractor, the construction may be very properly carried on without the expense of keeping an engineer continually on the work. Write us, and we shall be pleased to give you the advantage of our experience in these matters.

One tank along either side of a brick building about thirty feet by forty feet; the pumping machinery and well being between the tanks. THE TEST consisted in running two streams of water from a hydrant near the power station; one from a 3% inch nozzle, the other from a % inch nozzle, each having a 50 foot length of 2!<¢ inch fire hose. Only one tank was tested at a time, with results as shown by above diagram. The pressures were determined by gauges on the sides of the tanks, and the levels of the water by water glasses also on the sides of the tanks. NOTE the small water storage capacity; there being, under best conditions, only 3,500 gallons in each tank that could be delivered ae el pressure above 28 lbs., without operating the machinery. The failure of the Compressed Air Storage Tank at Hartford, S. D., Dec. 26, 1907, under normal service wrecked the entire plant. DES MOINES BRIDGE AND IRON COMPANY 37 1 HE FOREGOING CUTS illustrate the scope of the work being done by our Water Works Department, and while it is the intention to send this pamphlet principally to the ites} water works trade, still we desire to call attention to our other departments. We employ a competent staff of engineers and are prepared to design and construct steel frames for office buildings, hotels and mer- cantile buildings; railway and highway bridges, viaducts, power house, mill buildings, headframes for mines, tank and plate work of all descrip- tions. We have fabricated the steel work, under rigid inspection, for a large number of government, state and county buildings and can handle work of this kind without delay. We have furnished and erected the steel work for a number of portland cement plants, including buildings, tanks, bins, hoppers, con- veyors, etc., and are thoroughly familiar with the requirements of this class of work. We also build steel derricks and cranes for various purposes and call especial attention to our standard all steel stiff leg derrick with boom, variable in length, from 50 to 90 feet. We carry, at both of our plants, large stocks of steel beams, chan- nels, angles, plates, bars, rods, bolts, rivets, etc., and are prepared to fill orders very promptly for either plain or fabricated material. Large friction saws enable us to fill orders for ‘‘cut to length’’ material with- out delay. On the following pages are a few illustrations of some of the work we have constructed. We have not space here to show all the various kinds of work which we manufacture but will be pleased to furnish upon request, to those interested, sketches and photographs illustrating the design and character of work which we are prepared to furnish.
