Lighting Of The Temple

Recently, it was one of the major challenges of this work: the

illumination of the Temple. As it could not let be, we have separated

especially for the web surfers who are always following the step by step

of this magnificent building, two images that portray the intense work

of professionals that, for four years, dedicated solely to the phase of

projects.

Much research time, associated with the latest technologies available on

the market, make it even greater lighting solution of this venture, which

provides comfort combined with safety, thus treating the lighting as

technology and art.

Externally, when observed at night, the building will get a new guise

generated from high-performance luminaries with very low power

consumption, which will further highlight even more every architectural

detail built into the facade.

All efforts seek to reproduce the atmosphere of the time of the Temple of

Solomon with the latest technological resources that will give the project

the title of "ecologically correct", because of its bold efficiency.

Lifting the FIRST SCISSOR metallic.

Since the beginning of May this year we have posted information
about the manufacture and assembly of metal scissors coverage.
We talked about its inspection at the factory, its arrival on the
site, highlighted its special features (more than 80 meters span
and weighs more than 60 000 kilos), showed its assembly in the
construction work since the beginning and the spreading of the work
to night shift, for the installation of this grand structure.


For all this work could be done, there was a thorough commitment
jointly by the contractor, to develop a plan for the assembly and a
validation of the designers of steel structure and of concrete.
 
  The scissor have been lifted over the past week to its final location -
18 meters high, and the method used to lift it was by hydraulic jacks,
with close monitoring.
This is the first of eight metal shears that will be part of the roof of
Solomon's Temple.

The Construction work gets new rhythm.

The construction work gets once again a accelerated rhythm. To keep the original schedule up to date a detailed plan of attack was elaborated. And, without waste of time, it has been put into action, so that many other actions have been and are being taken, including:


- Increase in the number of employees: more than 900 are already allocated in the construction site;
- New equipment and machinery are being made available in the construction work;

- Advance from certain activities according to the original schedule: a good example is the implementation of the metallic structure covering of the auditorium;

- There are activities that their shift are extended by two hours;
- The main action comes to activities with 24-hour shift: cleaning, organization, supply of material in the work fronts, brickwork execution, among others.

Several activities in the Work

Among the many activities that are currently on the construction site, we
highlight this week, three of them:

 

1. Installation of the Metal Structure coverage for the Auditorium: As we
mentioned in the previous post, a comprehensive logistic study has been
prepared and is now being put into practice for the assembly of this large
structure, responsible for covering the auditorium of the Temple.
In short, the study addressed since the preparations of this structure from
factory until the painting, transportation and storage of it in the construction
work, in order to avoid any structural suffering or painting damage.
The assembly of the scissors is happening on the ground floor. Then they will be
lifted, and placed each one in its local to support the coverage.

2. 2 Floor underground parking : After running the drainage, the ground
preparation and its compaction are done. Subsequently, the ground
levelling is made with a highly accuracy device, thus enabling sealing
concreting of the floor.

3. Memorial Building: Finalization of the blocks concreting and beams of the
foundation and implementation of shaping and framing of the pillars, as
well as the wall of reinforced concrete ("curtain") of the memorial.

Metal structure of the Templo

Last week began to arrive the parts that will be part of the metal structure covering for the auditorium of the Temple.

 

Due to the large span to cover the auditorium and the large number of installation items that will be put together in it, the loading in this roof covering are really great and it took a long engineering work to achieve the best structural condition.

The structural parts (scissors) to be handled in the assembly were the subject of a major logistic study very well resolved and detailed, because the weight of each piece is 60,000 kg and the length (span) of more than 80 meters.

To address the assembly issue, this structure will also be composed of technical walkways which will serve for future maintenance of all the between roof equipments and also will support the very lining of the auditorium.

The parts that are arriving to the construction site after assembled will have the configuration of the image below.
