This project is on building a pipe bench. Most people have no idea what this is. Well simply put it is a bench that is a combination of wood and metal piping. This way the bench has a sturdy frame and unique look. Most benches are either wood, or metal. These benches are set up for the best of both worlds. Most wooden benches just aren’t as durable as an iron/metal bench. Also lost is the comfort factor with most metal benches. The idea of a “pipe bench” is all around a great idea. The pipe bench is a fairly modern design. More and more people across the globe are starting to build and buy these benches. Parks and recreational facilities are beginning to purchase these types of benches and use them for their respective businesses. One really …show more content…
Pipe benches were used in parks and things of that nature for years. A roughly estimated time for the start of the design would be around the year 1850, during the industrial revolution. During that time people realized they could melt down metal and make it into, essentially anything they want. Although the idea of the pipe bench didn’t come from one specific person, it sort of became a normality. More and more of them started appearing across the world seemingly overnight. The simplicity must have captivated the world because of the shear number that started popping up in major cities at the turn of the 19th century. The design made so much sense at the time, because companies were getting into the metal crafting business and why not make a bench with a comfortable wooden seat and a strong metal frame. Cities were expanding and the idea of large rural communities were beginning to fade into the past. This rapid expansion in city size caused many problems with space, transportation, and the need for the public facilities. So bench builders took advantage of the new, very functional design and started implementing these new benches all over cities
These included the installation of a floating pipeline to deliver concrete to those structures located in the river itself and floating the arch to the bridge site from its riverside fabrication site.
The North American Otter Pipe is a stone pipe that was found in Mound City, Ohio, USA it is believed to have been made between a time of 200 BCE and 100 CE. (MacGregor, pg 235) The dimensions of the pipe are 5.1 centimeters for height, 10 centimeters for width and 3.3 centimeters for depth, It looks like a kazoo for the size and shape of it but it is made of a reddish stone it is like that of a modern pipe for the effect that has the small hole for the part where
Because of the his brilliant idea, he broke “all the standard rules of the day” in its design by using steel to replace wood to build the water tower. He explained to use the eight column were better preference to four, as it can bring the task placed upon the metal of the tank shell to transmit the loads to the post well within the limits which existing structures have shown to be safe. The height and capacity of the water tower were monumental at that time, nevertheless they were considered the requirement for a thriving
The original design of the bridge was a two cell prestressed concrete box girder with three main spans (as mentioned above). However, as most of the water's commercial and pleasure boats use no pilot or tug, the potential environmental impact of a pier collision with possible subterranean damage, was deemed unacceptable.

Industrial buildings and warehouse buildings because of the ability to create large span spaces at a low cost
They needed something easy and fast to build. This problem resulted in the Chikee which uses a pole in the center and a frame made of cypress wood which if made well could last up to ten years. These frames are thatched with palm leaves which normally needed replaced every five
The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline is a project being done from the Beaufort sea through Canada’s Northwest Territories where natural gas is transport in order to tie into gas pipelines located in northern Alberta. What they're trying to accomplish is to design, build, and use it safely. While building it there trying to stay eco friendly. There trying to have it built by
Where would we be without electricity today? Electricity has changed the world as we know it and is always advancing. Have you ever thought about who helps keep it under control or who installs the wires capable of moving electricity from room to room in your house? Most likely you have never wondered, until the moment it goes out or has problems. This is where one would find out that an electrician can help with these problems.
For months, tension have mounted between protestors and law enforcement officials over the faith of an oil pipeline not far from Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. It has become an environmental and cultural flashpoint, stirring passion across social media and drawing thousands of protestors in the United States and around the world.
The first pipelines were nothing special; they were short and sometimes made of wood. With their growing popularity into the 1860s, the quality control followed over the pipe manufacturing, switching from wrought iron to steal. (Pipeline 101, n.d.) Coming into the twenty-first century, the pipeline has still been playing a key role in the oil industry. Given, its importance to the oil industry it is important to understand how
Keystone pipeline is a proposed crude oil pipeline that would be built from Hardisty, Alberta all way through Steele, Nebraska. It would stretch for 1,179 miles and it would transport up to 830,000 barrels of oil per day. The project was proposed by Trans-Canada to the United States government in 2005 and since then, it has been a controversial subject between the two neighbouring countries. The company argues that the pipeline would support more than 42,000 direct and indirect jobs while reducing American dependence on foreign oil by 40%. The president has the veto power over the decision on keystone and so far nothing has been agreed on with both parties. The project is currently being reviewed by the U.S senate.
We settled on wooden benches that was our seating at Kezar for the afternoon. The benches allowed about sixteen-inches per backside, and each row had thirty-six-seats.
The bridge has a very well designed ‘sustainability’ concept, relying on upcycled materials to complete the bridge. These upcycled materials consist of the wood, the fishing net, the oil barrels and the plastic shielding for the barrels. These materials can be used for functional roles in the design, such as platforms, floatation, safety lines across hand rails, and so on. The bridge’s sustainability concept can be further supported by the ease of replacing materials, and not throwing them in the bin. The materials such as wood, plastic and pieces of metallic bolts and nuts can be recycled and reused for other purposed such as furniture, storage or completely recycled back into a molten form for the metallic objects.
The chair utilizes the space and structure well and also is developed from a traditional idea into an innovative modern design for a chair. This chair was famous for its new use of materials, in the original design, the frame was made out of chrome steel and the upholstery was covered with white kidskin and filled with cotton burlap and horsehair (Meadmore, 1997). This chair is still in production for over eight decades.
