Here an ironworker uses an industrial-sized cotter pin to secure the turnbuckle to the lifting bracket.
DESCRIPTION:
Presumably taken from a structural girder or overhead crane, this unique angle unfortunately leaves to the imagination conditions in the pit being dug for the 14,000-ton press foundation. According to diagrams from engineer Roger Freeman's report to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the foundation pit was 60-feet deep. Several workers here are perched around the pit's edge, as block and tackle and a crane cable extend down into the darkness.

SUBJECTS:
Forge & Furnace Building (309-310)
CONTEXT:
The Forge & Furnace Building, originally designed with 25 furnaces, a number which more than doubled in 1941, when Carnegie-Illinois Steel leased the South Unit from the Navy and lengthened the structure. When the NOP was sold to FMC Corporation in 1961, a testing track for FMC's M113 armored vehicles was created around Building 309-310. Aluminum flatcars were also produced here until 1965 as part of FMC's railcar production line. Today the facility houses the central machine shop for Appalachian Power and a distribution facility for UPS.

I was invited to photograph at ADM Amsterdam's 18th edition of the ADM Blijft Festival, which included many bands, performers and artists as well as talks and workshops.
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.

QUICK TIP TO AVOID WATER DAMAGE: Stop the water leak if possible
💧 Halt or limit the impact of the flood damage by stopping or reducing the ingress of water into the home or property.
💧 If the leak came from a burst water pipe or burst hot water service, locate the nearest water supply tap and shut it off. In certain instances, this may require a professional plumber and/or the building manager.
💧 If there is storm damage to ceilings or roofs, or water ingress via balconies or cracks in wall cavities, you may need the assistance of a builder or waterproofer to locate the source of the leak.

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:

Structurally tilted & folded 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 example 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.

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.
