You got your job? Honor - I caught his breath as presented.
 - This is a miracle as a skyscraper, would not have been possible without the invention of the steel frame. The assembly of the steel frame of the building - the most dangerous and difficult part of the construction. It is the quality and speed of the carcass determines whether the project was implemented on time and within budget.

That's why riveters - camaya important profession in the construction of a skyscraper.





Riveters - a caste with its own laws: the salary riveter per working day $ 15, more than any skilled worker on a construction site; they do not go to work in the rain, wind or fog, they are not registered in the state contractor. They are not alone, they work in teams of four people, and is one of the teams did not go to work, no one comes out. Why, in the midst of the Great Depression look at it through my fingers all the investor to the superintendent?
$ 15 a day at a time is now more than $ 150 per hour. And maybe more.

The pictures - the best in the 1930m team, from left to right, "chef", "goalkeeper", "stop", and the arrow & quot ;.

On the platform of planks, or just on the steel beams is a coal stove. Furnace rivets - 10santimetrovye long by 3 centimeter diameter steel cylinders. "Cook", "cooking" rivets - small bellows drives air into the oven to warm them up to the desired temperature. Rivet got warm (not too much - provernetsya in the hole and it will have to be drilled, and not too little - not riveted), you now need to transfer the rivet where it will bind the beam. What will be fixed when the beam is only known beforehand, and to move a hot stove during the working day can not. So often mounting location is from the "cook" in 30ti meters (thirty), sometimes higher, sometimes lower floors 2-3.

Send rivet can be the only way - to throw.

"Cook" turns to "keeper" and silently, making sure that the goalkeeper is ready to receive, throws the red-hot tongs 600grammovuyu disc in his direction. Sometimes trajectory has welded beams, you need to throw once, precisely and powerfully.



"Goalkeeper" is on a narrow platform, or simply on the bare ravine near where riveting. His goal - to catch a flying piece of metal tin ordinary tin can. He can not move from place to avoid falling. But he must catch the rivet, otherwise it would collapse a small bomb on the city.

"Shooter" and "stop" are waiting. "Goalkeeper", catching the rivet, pushes it into the hole. "Emphasis" on the outside of the building, hanging over the abyss, steel core, and keeps its own weight hat rivets. "Shooter" 15-pound pneumatic hammer for a minute clench it with the other hand.

The best team is doing is the focus of more than 500 times per day, average - about 250ti.



The danger of this work can be illustrated by the following fact: the masons in construction are insured at the rate of 6% of salary, carpenters - 4%. Bet riveter - 25-30 %%.

At the Chrysler building, one person died.
On the Wall-Street-40 killing four.
At the Empire State - five.

This Hong Kong 2007: any building constructed exclusively using bamboo fixtures. People without insurance can be seen at the 20th floor and above:
