  • 5 the Tower… Made of Iron and Rivets
    FOLLOW GUS! Children’s tour of the Eiffel Tower – Pedagogical file 5 The Tower… made of iron and rivets Industrialization During the 19th century progress made in the world of metallurgy brought along industrial development. Manufacturing iron and steel enabled to build railways (railway tracks and engines), factories, stations, bridges, markets, department stores. From the second half of this century, engineers such as Eiffel became very knowledgeable in the use of metallic frameworks and structures that are lighter than stone or concrete. 1803: Construction of the Pont des Arts in Paris, in cast iron. 1853: Construction of the Paris covered market with a metallic structure that adds beauty to the building. The Pompey factory An iron Tower The Eiffel Tower is made of puddled iron. This type of iron is obtained by mixing liquid hot iron and the result is iron of a fibrous texture obtained through the dissociation of carbon and impurities from the cristallographic structure. Hammering and rolling complete the preparation of this highly resistant iron. All of these operations were carried out in factories set up near the iron mines, especially in the Lorraine region. The project is accurate to the millimetre In Eiffel’s workshops, some twenty engineers and thirty designers made 5,329 drawings that enabled about one hundred workers to assemble the various metallic parts in the workshops located in Levallois-Peret (West of Paris) as early as June 1887. These metallic parts measured between just a few millimetres for the rivets and various metres for the puddled iron beams manufactured in the steelworks of Pompey, in the Lorraine department.
