Pipe Company to Build New Plant
The McWane Cast Iron Pipe Company of Birmingham, Ala., has just announced, through President J. R. McWane, that they will begin at once construction of the first unit of their new plant. They expect to have it in operation by March 1, 1923, when the lease on their present plant expires. The location will be on a tract of 30 acres which has just been purchased in Birmingham, and it will have a capacity of 8,000 feet of their special product, McWane’s Precalked Joint cast iron pipe, per day.
The new plant will concentrate for the present on making the smaller sizes of cast iron pipe, from 6-inches downward. Particular attention will be given the newly-developed 2-inch and 1 1/4-inch sizes.
