Industrial Heat Treating a commercial heat treater in MA would like to move their business and convert the old site to a residential building after cleaning up the site. From time to time we run across similar stories, namely a long established business which finds that the land it is sitting on has appreciated substantially over the years. ¡°A businessman''s plan to replace an industrial facility near the Neponset Bridge in North Quincy with a six-story residential building would involve an extensive clean-up of toxic chemicals from the site. John McCormack, owner of Industrial Heat Treating at 31-39 Newbury St., has hired Web Engineering Associates of Norwell to remove contaminants from the soil and groundwater underneath the business, which specializes in treating metals. Christopher Harrrington, McCormack¡¯s attorney, said the project¡¯s permitting is time-sensitive because Industrial Heat Treating is struggling financially and is in federal bankruptcy court. The business has been located in North Quincy since the 1940s.
A reader told us how Penna Flame Industries in PA is expanding with more flame treating equipment. "Penna Flame Industries, located along Route 588 near the Zelienople Airport, has broken ground on an 8,700-square-foot addition to the facility. The expansion will house an 80-inch drop spinner flame-treating implement, the largest such machine in the world, said Andrew Orr, company vice president. Penna Flame, which employs about 25 people, uses fire to heat-treat steel for what Orr calls "high-wear environments," such as railroad car wheels, coal mining equipment and gear assemblies for extreme conditions.
The new spinner, which is expected to be operational by early 2017, will "tremendously increase our capacity," he said. A drop spinner turns a round steel object while an operator blasts it with an open flame to heat it, in many cases, above 1,000 degrees. When the metal reaches its desired temperature, the device will drop into a tank for quenching".
