Builders of the Temple: Steel Workers

A piece of brilliant engineering took place on the fourth and fifth floors of the Salt Lake Temple during its extensive renovation temple this year. Around 200,000 pounds of steel beams were temporarily installed to shore up the walls of the structure. Fifty-thousand-ton jacks along with a hydraulic manifold system were installed on the beams. The weight bearing on the pioneer temple walls was transferred to this steel system while retrofitting of the seismic upgrade took place on the floors below. Watch how this amazing feat was pulled off.

When this project is done I hope the church makes a documentary about this entire process. I would be VERY interested to watch it

[@FaithHeritageHome]

Same here

[@RazingthenRaising]

That would require a filming crew on hand (almost) every day. I somewhat doubt that is happening. But it would be amazing!

[@brandongaines1731]

Even just a compilation video of all of these smaller updates, interspersed with interviews of the apostleship and the workers, maybe even with President Nelson's video message from one of the 2020 Conferences (I don't remember which one) in there somewhere, culminating in a special message from President Nelson, THAT would be great!

[@jenluvjake]

Ooh me too!

[@jaredharris1940]

Itscertain that they will! Same for conference center!

On behalf of the humble, hidden, unseen, unheard rank and file members of The Lord's Church, not the general authorities, a big, huge, thank you steel workers for the great, incredible, precise work you did. Great job! Please thank and give our sincere love and appreciation to your family and loved ones for supporting you while you sacrificed away from them doing this work in the over-night/morning hours of the project. Thank you for the way you did it, with sensitivity, compassion, and even watching your language as you worked on this Holy work, inside the temple. I know that's not easy to do at times. Thank you for being so careful in the important work you performed. I know the Lord thanks your as well for taking care of His Holy Temple. We hope you felt His special appreciation and love for you doing such a marvelous work and wonder for Him! Love you steel guys and gals. We appreciate you. Thank you so much! Hope you accept this unofficial gracious! Hope no one got hurt!🥰

What an honor... For these men to have worked and upgrade the Sacred House of The Lord.

[@The_Mister]

Thank you for all your hard work to preserve this building that is so sacred and special to us. God bless you and your families.

[@ezraprice7066]

I appreciate everyone who has been involved in this process. Thank you so much!

[@TempleScoop]

I am glad to hear no one has been seriously hurt by all of this.

[@jacobjensen8592]

I cant imagine the amount of all around diligence, labor and work this task must require. Hats go off to those involved

[@Reminisciences]

Not a member, but I have always been impressed by the engineering that the LDS has done from this building's construction up to today. Looking forward to seeing a final cut of all this footage when the projects completed.

Please stop calling us Steel Workers we don’t work in steel mills. IRONWORKERS Proud to have been a part of this project

[@V.Hansen.]

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying

[@Momcamp02]

What a debt of gratitude we owe these wonderful, skilled workers! Thank you! ♥️

[@davidstout6051]

Nice to see moving huge objects by rolling them on tube shaped rollers is still used. The builders of the pyramids and Stonehenge would recognize the method immediately. Very cool.

[@skaughtsman]

They're probably pretty anxious and excited to receive proxy ordinances eventually.

[@mustanggun]

These men are blessed to be a part of this job for the Lord. And He's with them every step of the way.

[@11UncleBooker22]

Thank you, sweet Lord, for steel workers.

[@csviolin0516]

Incredible! Thank you to the wonderful steel workers for all that you do!❤

[@Mobius118]

This is incredible stuff! I’m studying engineering and just the thought of the work behind making sure that not only does the structure remain standing, but that it’s outfitted with this earthquake system and more, is awe-inspiring. Bravo to those workers!

[@bradman1984]

This really is so cool to watch how all of this is happens and is coming together.

[@jackiestanding8269]

Thanks to the steel workers for their efforts in this skilled process!

[@pdWald]

I love there SL Temple construction updates, please keep them coming!

[@cdeanneeckles]

My late Grandfather worked for the Former Geneva Steel that was located in Orem years ago. I had an Uncle who worked at the Former Geneva Steel as a machinist. I even had cousins who also worked at the Former Geneva Steel. And some of them live in American Fork Utah.

[@dog_vanlife]

This is amazing! I'm speechless as to what to say. It's such a miracle!

[@davidwood1256]

Well done guys ! I may never be able to travel to see the Salt Lake Temple, but am so thankful what you are doing. Greetings from England

Amazing edifice, amazing workers. ❤

[@keithhepworth4934]

I can’t begin to fathom how expensive this project is. I wonder if it would have been cheaper to build a whole new temple.

[@ramsrnja]

Impressive!

[@elitster]

Incredible!!

[@chucknelson1378]

Pretty cool ❤

[@lesliearbogast1]

[@dog_vanlife]

What would the pioneers think today if they saw this.

They probably are aware:)

[@goatisland4754]

Nice🙏🏼Stay Safe🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Goofman13]

Wow that’s crazy

[@aleshaborisovich]

Great job! But Im wondering if the rest of citizens could possibly sleep while construction was on at night time 😂

[@MegWasHere2011]

Awesome

[@GlenVawdrey]

Just for clarification, these are Iron Workers not Steel Workers. There is a big difference!

[@toddkendall7452]

Thank you

[@Big8707]

So amazing wow

[@MormonAlly]

More respect needs to be given to the blue collar workers who build these temples.
