  • One of Arup's 'torso nodes' help support 50 ton tusk rafters to made Heathrow airport's T5 largest free-standing building in UK

  • Seen from ground level, we see one of the giant 'hand nodes' of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 roof structure. Developed by Arup to design the geometry of abutment steel supports, this engineering challenge needed to help support 50 ton tusk rafters to made T5 the largest free-standing building in the UK. A large H denotes the check-in zone for international passengers. The main architecture was created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners) and opened in 2008 after a cost of £4.3 billion. Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Seen from the inside looking outwards, we see one of the giant 38 ton 'torso nodes' of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 roof structure. Developed by Arup to design the geometry of abutment steel, this engineering challenge needed to help support 50 ton rafters to made T5 the largest free-standing building in the UK. In the centre is the torso that sits on top of two feet with the wings splaying out to the window. The main architecture was created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners) and opened in 2008 after a cost of £4.3 billion. Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • Lit by ambient light from airfield spotlights and with an American Airlines jet in the background, is one of three footing support struts belonging to Heathrow Airport's new control tower which is seen at night on the airfield's apron, the movement area where arriving and departing aircraft pass-by. The 285 feet (87 m) high tower is more than twice the height of the original, and was designed by Richard Rogers and constructed by Arup, costing £50m. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). ..

  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.
