SHEA’S BIG JOB
When Nyssa folks read of Charles A. Shea, it’s like
reading of John Brown or Ben Jones, so familiar has the
likeable name of Shea became in this locality since work
began on the Owyhee irrigation project. Just as the com
munity takes nride in the success of one of its inhabitants,
it rejoices witn Charles A. Shea in his step forward in the
engineering world.
Shea, a member of the firm that set a world record in ,
a tunnel drive on its Owyhee contract, will build
the huge Boulder dam. The Shea company and Pacific
Bridge company of Portland and four other western con
tractors combined to form the Six Companies, Ine., low
bidders for Bo alder dam.
To each member of the Big Six was allotted a definite
part in the work. The big job went to Shea. He has the
responsibility of construction and engineering. He will
build the dam.
We can scarcely encompass the immensity of the
Boulder project. Its estimated cost is $80,000,000. Work
has started and completion is scheduled for 1938. A com
plete city will be built eight miles from the site.
More than 50,000,000 pounds of reinforced, steel
4.200.000 yards of gravel will go into the dam. About
2.500.000 foot of lumber will be used. There will be
1.900.000 yards of tunnel excavation.
Shea’s brother Gilbert Shea is director of work on the
Owyhee tunnel contracts. His capable assistant, Martin
Boss, was in charge when Shea recently made the world’s
best tunnel run for day, week and month.
It has about reached the point in this country where
you can get everything needed in the kitchen in cans
except elbow grease.
