  • Description
  • Dusty construction workers install dry pack bolts and sticker bolts during the expansion of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s Aliquippa Works facility. In 1953 a major expansion project to increase steel production at Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s Aliquippa Works was undertaken. A new 44-inch blooming mill and its drive were installed, replacing a steam-engine drive mill that set many production records during its time. In 1989 the Aliquippa Works, the largest industrial plant in Beaver County employing about 14,950 men and women at its peak, was shutdown. In the following year blast furnaces A-1 through A-5, built between 1909 and 1919, were all razed.
