Processing of the stones of Israel

In previous post, we reported the coming of the stones from Israel. (see here) 
Once this step done has been initiated, the processing thereof. This processing is to prepare the stones - the model known as taltishe 25x50cm - so they can be installed in all exterior walls of the Temple, through a method called "ventilated facade." For this, the stones will receive a cut in its top and bottom, allowing them to be embedded in a metal frame attached to, and receive a waterproof layer that will protect them throughout 

their life (see photo) . 


Among the benefits of this facade, we can highlight the ease of maintenance, because each stone can be removed individually, and provide great comfort thermal / acoustic due to the space that is created between the stones and the wall of the Temple.


This whole process will be developed in the shed near the work where the stones are stored. A specialist company has been hired only to prepare this work, which includes, besides the processing, the selection of stones and listing them in order to facilitate the application in the work.
Once again our concern for the environment can be proven by extracting the residual dust of this processing, which will be properly collected and will form the compound of the pieces we make the grout in geopolymer.

Stones from Israel -The Holy Land

Some of the stones that will cover the Solomon's Temple has arrived in Brazil. Made in the quarry of Hebron, in Israel, the three rock types are stored in a shed in the neighborhood of Bras.
The process of extraction of stones was closely followed by team Engiurd, which recorded the time they were cut by backhoes, sawn into boards.

The first model, called Taltishe, which measures 25x50x3, widely used in most buildings in Jerusalem, will serve to cover the entire exterior of the temple, about 19 thousand square meters.

And to cover the internal floor, the model will be used Brushed Stone, size 80x80.

The pillars will receive a type of stone called Matabeh, which measures 50x100x3, who will share interim polished with rough cuts, giving highlights  to the external pillar.

But the creative team responsible for this large building does not stop, a new model of stone, with golden color, called Jerusalem Gold, is being considered to cover the altar.
The forecast final delivery of all the stones to be used in the project must occur by May 2012, when will have a total of 39 thousand square meters
of stone from the Holy Land.
