The Olakneswara Temple ("flame eye"; commonly Olakkanatha; also known as, "the Old Lighthouse") is in Mahabalipuram town, overlooking the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in Kancheepuram District in Tamil Nadu, India. Like the Shore Temple, the Olakneswara Temple is a structural temple. Built in the 8th century, it is situated directly above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa on a hillock which provides scenic views of the town. As the area is within a high security zone because of a nuclear power station a few kilometres to its south, photography is prohibited. The Olakneswara Temple is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a Mahishasura temple. It is dedicated to an incarnation of Shiva. It is one of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram that were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.
ETYMOLOGY
Commonly, the building has been known as the "Olakkanatha Temple". Its original name, however, was Olakneswara, a corruption of "Ulaikkannisvaram" (meaning: the temple of Siva whose forehead contains the crescent moon or eye of wisdom). Olakneswara is mistakenly called a Mahishasura temple as it is situated above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa (cave temple).
GEOGRAPHY
Olakneswara Temple is located in Mahabalipuram town. Facing east, the temple is accessed only be a series of cut steps on exposed rock. It is situated on the top of a hill, above the Mahishasura Mardini Mandapa near the modern lighthouse. It is approximately 58 kilometres from Chennai city (previously Madras) and about 32 km from Chingelpet. The area is a high security zone as there is a nuclear power station about a few kilometers to its south.
HISTORY
Like the Shore Temple, the Olakneswara Temple was built during the reign of the Pallava dynasty king Rajasimha. Archaeologist A. H. Longhurst observed that prior to the construction of the present lighthouse at this site in 1900, the roof of the Olakneswara Temple served as the lighthouse with perhaps a wooden shed structure on the roof. Worship was offered in this temple till the nineteenth century.
FEATURES
The structure is built of grey-white granite. The shikhara or tower of the temple is interpreted to have been built originally to the same style as the Shore Temple tower in Dravidian Architectural style but is now non-existent. A small ardha-mandapa (half hall) leads into a rectangular shrine. An unusual feature is that of the carving of dvarpalas (guards) of the main shrine, which are in half-profile though the space available could have used to make a full-face profile as per traditional practice of the front facing style. This is typical of Mahabalipuram Pallava style and a similar profile of dvarpalas is noted in the Trimurti Cave Temple. This is interpreted as a transition from the Mahendra style of architecture to the Rajasimha style; the transformation was from a full front facing to three-fourth and then to half profile facing each other. However, the guardians carved on the back wall of the temple are in full frontal profile. The building was formerly lined with brick masonry.
On the exterior walls, there are two sculpted images in the niches of the ardha-mandapa. Enclosed within pilasters, these images of Shiva as Kalari killing "Kaala" (Yama) are later additions, not attributable to the Pallavas. On external walls of the main shrine, there are other niches or devkoshtas; on the south wall the sculpture is of Shiva as Dakshinamurti under a tree in seated posture, on the west face an image of Shiva and Parvati seated on Kailash Mountain with Ravana trying to shake the mountain, and an image on the north wall is of Shiva in the posture of Nataraja. The sculptures are much ruined, and were plastered and painted over hence the originality is much less visible. There are a large number of lion pilasters on the walls. There are no images of any deity inside the temple.

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.
Here, ironworkers have attached a few of the cross braces that will eventually connect these girders. These braces keep these two girders stable, as they sit just a few feet east of Pier 13.

PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 5, 2011) - Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class Jack Mangas from DeSoto, Kan., uses a black light to conduct a deep inspection on an MH-60S helicopter’s brake torque tube in the airframes shop aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). Sailors working in George Washington’s airframes shop inspect and repair various aircraft parts. George Washington pulled out of her forward-operating port of Yokosuka, Japan Sept. 19 to continue her 2011 patrol. As the Navy’s only full-time forward deployed carrier, George Washington’s mission is to help ensure security and stability in the western Pacific Ocean.

Dortechs Structural Silicone Glazed Curtain Wall systems can be used to create almost perfectly flush-fitted glass facades. The appearance of structural glazing is achieved by using profiles that are only visible on the room side. From the outside, only the glazing and the slender shadow joints are visible. The gap between each piece of glass is approximately 25mm (this can vary) in comparison to the 50 – 60mm site line prevalent with traditional, visible grid curtain wall systems.There are two main types of SSG system Dortech offers;
The first is based upon specialist double glazed units which are manufactured to include an SSG spacer bar which incorporates a ‘U’ channel. Typically the spacer bar will have a bronze anodised finish. Structural silicone is used to bond each piece of glass to the spacerbar. Once the curtain wall grid has been erected on site, these specialist glass units are delivered to site and locked into the grid using metal toggles which are designed specifically for each respective aluminium suppliers curtain wall system. Finally a compatible silicone is applied over the top of the vertical and horizontal joints to create a flush finish.
The second utilises traditional double glazed units manufactured with structural silicone. Aluminium carrier frames are then bonded around the perimeter of each piece of glass with structural silicone. On site, the perimeter frame is locked into the curtain wall grid and then silicone is applied over the gap between each piece of glass.
Please note, the SSG Curtain wall sysems cannot accomodate significant structural movements.
Dortech has carried out a number of projects utilising the following SSG Curtain wall systems:

It takes a really big beam clamp (or two of them, actually) to lift this 50,000 pound beam into the air to move it off the truck. Here two of our ironworkers carefully guide the clamp into the proper location.

Claremont House is a large, stone built former dwelling and outbuildings, standing in grounds of approximately 1.4 hectares off Storrs Bridge Lane. The building was last used as a social club for employees of the nearby Hepworths Refractories, but has been vacant for many years. It was built in 1895. Some of the outbuildings are in a derelict condition. The grounds, including a former car park and tennis court, have become overgrown and a substantial number of self-set trees and shrubs have colonised the site. The site has reverted to a semi-natural state, although some minor fly tipping has occurred.
It is the most unsafe building I have been in.
This is a spread I did about my "issues" with a project of mine--the book I am supposed to be working on that was put on hold.
Our crew will place the wall anchor in the ground beyond the deck. Rod extenders are used to avoid decks, flower beds and other landscaping.
