The crane operator (inside the cab) and the oiler (outside the cab) work as a team. Cranes require constant attention for lubrication and cleaning. The oiler also provides another set of eyes, watching when the work is in really close quarters or on the ground, watching the tracks when moving the crane in cramped work areas.

Once the truck is parked in the correct position, the crane lowers the beam spreader with the beam clamps. The location on the girder where it is lifted has been carefully calculated and is measured in the field.
Structurally folded & faulted sedimentary rocks in the Cambrian of Tennessee, USA.
The deformed rocks shown here are part of the Rome Formation (Middle Cambrian). Folds and faults are common in mountain belts formed by tectonic collision - this outcrop is in the Appalachian Mountains, which formed by collision between Africa and North America during the Pennsylvanian. This ancient mountain-building event is called the Allegheny Orogeny. The supercontinent Pangaea formed at this time.
The prominent curvilinear feature from lower right to top-left is a minor thrust fault - note the truncation of beds. A major thrust fault (= Copper Creek Thrust Fault) occurs to the left of this spot.
Locality: roadcut along the eastern side of Rt. 25E, immediately south of the Copper Creek Thrust Fault (= same outcrop), just south of the Clinch River, north of Clinch Mountain, far-northern Grainger County, northeastern Tennessee, USA (36° 22' 54.64" North latitude, 83° 26' 48.86" West longitude)

FORT NORFOLK, Va. – For years, Mother Nature’s fury has steadily eroded the structural integrity of the Fort Norfolk pier and wharf area, seriously degrading its operational effectiveness and jeopardizing its safe operation. Broken, crumbling and missing pilings; underneath pier foundation completely deteriorated; wharf top cap rotten away; mooring fasteners and piling bolts – gone! That was then. Today, new state-of-the-art structural upgrades expand the facility’s operation and extend its useful life for up to 15 years. The Fort Norfolk Bulkhead and Pier Repair project, under the design and construction management of Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, began work in October 2011, and was completed ahead of schedule and more than $150,000 under budget. The Corps’ prime contractor, Team Henry Enterprises, LLC, based in Newport News, Va., is an 8A minority-owned small business. The project marked the first time Team Henry had performed work for Norfolk District, but their land work experience extended to other federal and state agencies. Completing the project ahead of schedule and below budget was no surprise to Steven Baum, Norfolk District’s project manager.

Authentic piece of structural steel from the World Trade Center Ground Zero at the Liberty Garden in Dodge City, Kansas.
Liberty Garden in Wright Park in Dodge City, Kansas. The garden was constructed after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It is a project of Keep America Beautiful and the Dodge City CREW (Community Recycling Environmental Waste) program. The garden contains steel from the World Trade Center, piece of limestone from the Pentagon, and a piece of Pennsylvania sandstone. The Liberty Garden's dedication occurred on September 11, 2002.
Rigging is attached to the bottom of the center lifting bracket, too. This allows the girder to be carefully controlled, while slowly changing it to vertical.
All of the girders and knuckles are fabricated for a specific location on the bridge and when brought on site they are placed in their specific location because nobody wants to move them twice.
Sanatorium Zonnestraal, Hilversum NL, 1926-1928, architects Duiker, Bijvoet & Wiebenga - the architects/structural engineers designed the Sanatorium Zonnestraal near Hilversum in The Netherlands, completed in 1928. This cutting-edge design changed the way the world considered hospitals, by discarding the dark, unsanitary buildings of the past. Early twentieth century designs emphasized air circulation and access to sunlight. This innovation was so successful that many upscale homes placed sleeping quarters outside on balconies. The composition of glass, concrete, and steel in this structure continues to be copied in many modern homes. Three main buildings of three parallel wings contain treatment facilities and staff quarters. The infirmary houses 28 patients, specifically tuberculosis patients. Spatial relationships are clear and direct. The white concrete is brilliantly subservient to the airy and light atmosphere. There is no telling how much this project improved the quality of life for sick and mentally ill people all over the world. It is a triumph of Modernism. A major restoration took place from 2001. The main building is totally restored. From the remaining original pavilion the structure and facades have been restored. The interior is waiting for a new user.
Now the girder can be held fully vertical, supported by the two remaining brackets and it is ready to be moved into the vertical storage location.
I'm noticing now that that isn't a true buckyball. There goes all the nanotech I've been developing based on its structure. #graygoo
