In order to verify the correct position of the holes, pincers, sorts of weakly conical rods were used which were forced into the holes. Was theoretical, and these holes had to be drilled to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. It was therefore necessary to calculate the position of the assembly holes with great precision, since everything The pieces were too large to be drawn in life size. Unlike Eiffel's other works of art, the parts of the tower could not be drawn at scale 1, as was the case most of the time. In total during the period of manufacture of the pieces of the Eiffel Tower it is more than 18 000 pieces that left the There were a few all the professions of the metallurgy because there were At the Eiffel workshops there were more than a hundred workers to work. Then it was the assemblers who came into play, they collected these pieces on the site and assembled themĭefinitively. That met a simple criterion: Make less than 3 tons. These parts were assembled together with temporary rivets to form elements Plans of the designers of the design office, from the biggest beam to the smallest rivet. In his Levallois-Perret workshops, the metal parts had to be constructed according to the precise The principle of construction adopted by Eiffel was simple. Let us now see how the Eiffel Tower was built. The Eiffel Tower is called today, when it was designed by Nouguier and Koechlin. But Eiffel, feeling the interest of a tower so high, redeemed the rights of his colleagues, and that is why The plans were drawn by the many staff members and anĪrchitect, Mr Sauvestre, who entered the project. The idea was to build this tower on the Champ de Mars for the Universal Exhibition of 1889. A competition for the construction of a 300m tower in Paris was launched, and it was Eiffel (Mr Koechlin and Nouguier), would make the first realistic project. The entrepreneur Gustave Eiffel who, on the proposal of plans of his heads of the design office and head of the office of methods It is the use of metal that will make this project possible. Stone and cement not resisting the pressure of such a monument. such a challenge could not be achieved with the usual technologies, Sought since the mid-nineteenth century to create a tower of 1000 feet high (about 300 meters).

Otherwise, here is a summary.įollowing the establishment of a technological challenge that became possible with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, engineers from all countries had If you wish, you can read the history of the tower before its construction, it is explained on the page History of His texts haveīeen modified to better fit the literary style that has evolved since the last century, and to simplify certain elements, too complex to be discussed here. Do not panic, it's very simple to understand. Himself, who gives in his book 'The tower of 300m' some notions that he acquired on this subject. The best thing is to be guided by Gustave Eiffel Expect a magnificent 3-hour dining experience for the 5-course menu and longer for the 7-course menu.To worry about how the Eiffel Tower was built requires first to worry about concepts in metal construction. You can sit down for lunch at 12 to 1:30 at 15 minute intervals.ĭinner sit-down times are 7, 7:15 & 7:30 pm.
