Once the clamp is set onto the beam, it is carefully measured to be sure it is exactly centered on the beam, then locked into place.
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.

Premier SIPS Help Create a Tight, Well-Insulated Building Envelope for Finn Hill Junior High
The SIP panels will help the school district reduce energy costs, and allow for smaller, more cost-effective mechanical systems. Reducing heating and cooling consumption was critical for the building’s “net-zero energy ready” design, meaning that the potential area for the roof-mounted solar panels is sufficient to power all the school’s needs. The school will open with one of the largest solar panel installations in the state.
Finn Hill Junior High Project Summary:
Location: Kirkland, Washington (Seattle area)
Building size: 115,000 square feet (approx.)
Structural Insulated Panel area (walls and roof): 200,000 square feet (approx.)
Project status: Complete, opened Fall 2011
Funding source: 2006 school district bond measure
Design Team: Mahlum Architects, Seattle; Arup (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Telecom), Seattle; Cascade Design Collaborative (Landscape), Seattle; Coughlin Porter Lundeen (Civil, Structural), Seattle
General Contractor: Babbit Neuman Construction, Steilacoom, Wash.
SIP Manufacturer: Premier SIPS

Structural Constellation n° 34, 1964
(Vinyle fixé sur panneau de particules et encadrement métal) Exposition "Vues d'en haut" Centre Pompidou Metz du 17 mai au 7 octobre 2013
The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.
This is behind the reception desk in our office. The structural beams were put in place (I think) when 3 new floors were added to the building, but the opening for the freight elevator is still visible. I found the elevator switch hidden In a conference room just underneath : switch
With 4 ironworkers holding onto the beam, to steady it, the crane slowly lifts it up-off the bed of the two truck units. Slow and steady is the motto for this stage of the operation.
Leicester's parish church of St Martin was raised to cathedral rank when the Diocese of Leicester was created in 1926, making it one of the 'parish church cathedrals' promoted in the early 20th century, however here there was no structural change with the building's change of status as the site was too enclosed to permit further extension to the church (except for a larger vestry block on the south side).
The church itself had already been much altered during the Victorian period, with so much rebuilding that very little of the medieval structure survives beyond the nave arcades, leaving the building as we see it today an almost entirely 19th century creation (though retaining the overall plan of the old building, including the spacious additional south aisle). The central tower and spire is a fine piece of work however (by Raphael Brandon and based on a medieval example at Ketton) and lends considerable dignity to the church.
The interior is light and attractive and has recently been re-ordered (sadly the fine Nicholson screen, formerly the focal point of the nave, was pushed back into the chancel and cropped to fit its new position). There is some outstanding stained glass here amongst the more ordinary Victorian pieces, with several good Arts & Crafts pieces by Christopher Whall (particularly the large chancel east window) and his daughter Veronica, whilst two newly installed windows in the north chapel are by Tom Denny.
The cathedral was little known or visited amongst English cathedrals until a remarkable recent event changed its status forever, for since 2015 it has become the resting place of King Richard III after his body was discovered nearby in excavations at the site of the former Greyfriars (now a car park!). The body was reburied with great ceremony in the chancel where a simple marble tomb covers the King's remains.
Subsequently Leicester Cathedral, whilst not possessing the size and grandeur of most churches of its rank, has now become a much busier place, with a constant flow of visitors.

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.

Owner: Puget Sound Energy
Lead contractor: EI Solutions
The Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility has been providing customers with clean, renewable energy since 2006. The site features over 273 megawatts of wind and solar power, with a 44 megawatt expansion completed last year. During the first phase of construction as well as the second, Puget Sound Energy went to great lengths to take care of the environment. Native plants were planted in disturbed areas, erosion control was put in place, and wildlife studies are ongoing. The Renewable Energy Center (visitors center) was built to showcase Puget Sound Energy's commitment to the environment, education, and renewable energy. The building is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Gold, with a native rock exterior, native plant landscaping, low VOC paint, Structural Insulated Panel walls and ceilings, Energy Star appliances, and recycled furnishings throughout. The center is open to the public from April through November.
