Izakhiwo zorhwebo zihlala zineendidi ezimbini: ezizinxantathu nezinomdla. Ngaphandle kokuba izakhiwo ezizinxantathu zakhiwe zinde kwaye zibonelela ngemibono emihle, aziboneleli ngaphezu komsebenzi osebenzayo kunye nokusebenza kakuhle okungenakuthelekiswa nanto.
Oko kuthethiweyo, uninzi lwabakhi bezakhiwo luyichasa imfundiso yobuqhetseba, luphupha ngeengcamango zokwakha ezinomtsalane emehlweni kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ziyamangalisa. Asikokubaxa ukutsho ukuba, kwezinye iimeko, umbono ovela kwisakhiwo uyamangalisa njengombono ovela kwisakhiwo.
IMyuziyam kaSolomon R. Guggenheim (eNew York), eyilwe nguFrank Lloyd Wright, isekelwe kuthotho lwezinto ezijikelezayo, ngelixa iZurich Insurance Group North American Headquarters Building (eSchaumburg, eIllinois), eyilwe yiGoettsch Partners, isebenzisa izinto ezingxande kakhulu ukunika abantu intuthuzelo. Indlela engenakulibaleka yokuhlanganisa. Abayili bezakhiwo abanjengoFrank Gehry baphume bonke, bephepha ingcinga eqhelekileyo kwaye bedala imbonakalo ngaphandle kweepateni ezicacileyo okanye ukuqikelelwa kwangaphambili, njengeWalt Disney Concert Hall (eLos Angeles) okanye iGuggenheim Bilbao (eBil, eSpain).
Kwenzeka ntoni xa abayili bephikisana nemilo yezinto kunye nezinto ezisetyenziswa ukungena kwezi zakhiwo, beguqula iimilo zesiqhelo zibe zezo zingaqhelekanga? Izibambo, ii-vents, kunye nezibambo zomnyango zizinto zemihla ngemihla eziphucula amava ethu ngesakhiwo okanye imeko ukuya kwinqanaba elithile, nokuba sisenokungaqondi. Leyo yinjongo yePoole, eNgilane, iTimeless Tube, inkampani yokuvelisa eyatshintsha ihlabathi leetyhubhu ngomlinganiselo omncinci wayo ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980 xa yadala ityhubhu yokuqala yentsimbi engagqwaliyo emhlabeni. Ukusukela ngoko, iTimeless iqhubekile nokuvelisa iimveliso zetyhubhu ezintsha kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza, ihlala iqaphela isiqubulo eyazenzela sona: "Uyilo oluhle lweThubhu yesinyithi".
Umbono wenkampani kukwenza ihlabathi libe yindawo engcono. Ukuze yenze oku, isebenzisa iityhubhu zesinyithi ezenziweyo ukuguqula izakhiwo eziqhelekileyo ezisebenzayo zibe zizinto ezibalaseleyo ezikhokelwa kuyilo.
“Sifumene ugqozi kumyili omkhulu waseMelika uCharles Eames, owathi ngokudumileyo: ‘Iinkcukacha azizo iinkcukacha. Ziyila,’” utshilo uTom McMillan, umphathi jikelele kunye nonjineli oyintloko.
“Lo moya usebenza kuyo yonke imisebenzi yethu,” waqhubeka. “Sifuna ukufaka isandla kuyilo oluhle ngeetyhubhu zethu, nokuba zezokwakha, ifenitshala okanye into ethile eyenziwe ngoomatshini ngokupheleleyo.”
I-Timeless Tube inamava angaphezu kweminyaka emithathu ekuphuhliseni uyilo olungaqhelekanga lwe-handrail. Imveliso yayo yokuqala, iityhubhu ezi-oval kunye nee-joinery ezikhethekileyo zisetyenziswe njenge-handrails zeenqanawa. Yenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwaliyo ye-316L ecoliweyo kakhulu ukumelana neemeko ezinzima zaselwandle, le mveliso itsha yamkelwe ngokukhawuleza ngabayili bezakhiwo zaselwandle kwihlabathi liphela. Imo entle ye-oval ayithandeki nje kuphela njengobuhle kunetyhubhu engqukuva, kodwa ikwanenzuzo yokhuseleko yokuba ayityibiliki xa ibanjwa ngamalungu abasebenzi kunye nabakhweli.
“Iinqanawa zodidi oluphezulu zigxile ekuqwalaseleni iinkcukacha,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Iixabiso zoyilo zigxile kumgangatho ongenakuthelekiswa nanto kunye nokulula kokusetyenziswa. Iityhubhu zethu zisetyenziswa ngabakhi beenqanawa abadumileyo kwihlabathi. Abayili beenqanawa baselwandle bayaziqonda ngakumbi – abatyesheli iinkcukacha. Iityhubhu zethu ezizii-oval zihlala zikho, kwaye ngesizathu esivakalayo.”
Sekunjalo, iTimeless ifuna ukudala iimilo ezintsha, lo gama nje zibonelela ngeenzuzo kuneetyhubhu ezijikelezileyo kwaye zibonelela ngeenzuzo ezicacileyo kumsebenzisi wokugqibela. Le nkampani isandula ukudala imo entsha yetyhubhu yee-handrails kwii-dinghies zodidi: iityhubhu zesikwere. Le milo iqinileyo necociweyo iqinile kodwa ineembonakalo ezincinci ukuze ingangeni kakhulu. Isandla singena kakuhle kwaye sikhuselekile sijikeleze imo, kunye nemiphetho egobile kancinci.
Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ityhubhu ibe nde kakhulu ukuze inike intetho. Le ndawo imfutshane yokubeka ingalo kwinqanawa encinci inika ukuchukumisa okuhle.
Iinjineli ezingaphelelwa lixesha ngoku ziphuhlise iiprofayili ezintandathu zeetyhubhu ezizodwa, kuquka iityhubhu ezimbini ezijijekileyo. Uninzi lweemveliso zenkampani zenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwaliyo ye-304L kunye ne-316L, kodwa iinjineli zisebenzisa i-aluminium, i-titanium, kunye ne-alloys yobhedu. I-alloy kuphela abangayisebenzisiyo yintsimbi ethambileyo kuba ayimelani nokugqwala kwaye ngaloo ndlela ingcolisa intsimbi engagqwaliyo.
“Ngaphezu koko, uninzi lwezicelo esizinikezelayo zezomgangatho ophezulu, nokuba zezokuhlobisa, zezolwakhiwo okanye zezoomatshini,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Intsimbi ethambileyo isenokuba nexabiso eliphantsi, kodwa inemida yayo kwizicelo esisebenza kuzo.”
Nangona kunjalo, oko akuthethi ukuba iTimeless iwukhawulela umsebenzi wayo kwezi ntlobo zintandathu ziphambili. Iprojekthi yakutshanje ebandakanya i-arena inike iinjineli zenkampani ithuba lokubonisa ubuchule kunye nobuchule.
Ngowama-2019, iTimeless yabonelela ngee-handrails ezifakwe kwiprofayili yendlela ephezulu yebala lemidlalo lebhola ekhatywayo le-English Premier League. Le ndlela yokuhamba inika umbono obanzi woMntla London ukusuka kubude beenyawo ezili-130, apho uluntu lunokuhamba khona kwiiplatifomu ezivulekileyo ngelixa lubopha iintambo zokhuseleko, kunye nee-relings eziqinileyo zokhuseleko olongezelelekileyo.
Kodwa ukufumana esi sandla sentsimbi engagqwaliyo kwaba nzima kubakhi bezakhiwo ngenxa yendlela yaso engaqhelekanga: kwakufuneka sibe sikhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuze singene phezu kwecandelo lebhokisi yentsimbi eliqinisa amacala e-mesh yentsimbi engagqwaliyo kwindlela yokuhamba yeglasi. Babefuna ityhubhu engaqhelekanga eyayibukeka intle, imile okwekhonkrithi kunokuba ibe yi-engile, kwaye imile ngendlela yokuba ibe nesithuba esinqunyiwe nge-laser kwisiseko sayo.
Ekugqibeleni abakhi bezakhiwo bafumana iTimeless Tube, eyanika isisombululo setyhubhu esisicaba esinomphetho onemigca ecocekileyo nejikelezileyo. Yimilo yetyhubhu eyenziwa ziinjineli ezimbalwa, kodwa ineengenelo ezithile ezicacileyo kuneetyhubhu ezijikelezileyo. “Yimilo yethu yetyhubhu enamandla kakhulu,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Iluncedo kakhulu ukuba kufuneka ukwenziwa okungakumbi, kuba kulula ukuyidibanisa nezinye izinto, ezifana neespindles kunye neglasi okanye iindawo zeemoto, ngenxa yamacala ayo asicaba,” utshilo.
Ukuze kugqunywe iindawo zentsimbi, abakhi bezakhiwo bafuna ukuba ubungakanani bale tyhubhu bube bukhulu kakhulu kunoko kufumanekayo ngoku. I-Timeless yinkampani encinci nekhawulezayo engadingi kujongana nomthwalo wemisebenzi emikhulu kunye nemveliso eninzi, ngoko ke inokuchitha ixesha kunye nomgudu wokwenza iiprototypes kunye nobukhulu obulungiselelwe abathengi bayo.
Xa kudalwa imilinganiselo emitsha, iTimeless ayisoloko ikwazi ukufikelela kumlinganiselo ochanekileyo ocelwe ngabathengi, njengoko le milinganiselo isenokungavelisi ityhubhu enobume obuqinileyo, okanye ityhubhu isenokungafani nemilo efunekayo. Emva kokulungisa umlinganiselo phakathi kokuqanda kunye nokuthamba, iTimeless ifumene ityhubhu enobukhulu obuyi-7.67 nge-3.3 intshi (195 nge-85 mm) kunye nobukhulu bodonga obuyi-0.118 intshi (3 mm). Ubukhulu obude buncinci nge-0.40 ″ (10mm) kuphela kunomlinganiselo ochazwe ekuqaleni.
“Senza iityhubhu zethu ngokuzoba ubude beetyhubhu ezijikelezileyo ngendlela ebandayo xa senza imiqolo,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Inkqubo yokwenza ityhubhu iyinto yobugcisa. Asikuko ukuba simane ‘sityumza’ ityhubhu. Nje ukuba sigqibe kubungakanani esikwaziyo ukuba buyasebenza, silinganisa zonke izicwangciso ukuze sikwazi ukuziphinda-phinda kwakhona. Ubungakanani obuchanekileyo. Kodwa ngobungakanani obutsha…kaloku, asazi ukuba buza kusichaphazela njani. Iintsimbi ezahlukeneyo zivelisa iziphumo ezahlukeneyo. Kuthatha uvavanyo.”
Ityhubhu engaphelelwa lixesha ayisoloko ifuna ukwenziwa ngokwezifiso ukuze isetyenziswe njengekhaka lokuhombisa kwizakhiwo zesakhiwo, njengoko sele iqinile ngokwesakhiwo.
Uluhlu lweemveliso zeTimeless Tube luquka iimilo ezintandathu: iFlat Oval, iOval, iTwisted Oval, iTwisted Rounded Square, iRounded Square, kunye neD. Olu luhlu luquka ubungakanani obuqhelekileyo obuchazwe ziikhowudi zokwakha i-handrail, ngokuqhelekileyo i-32 ukuya kwi-50 mm (1.25 ukuya kwi-2 inches), kunye nezinye ezininzi.
“E-UK, sineemfuno ezingqongqo kakhulu ze-handrail zokwakha kunye nezixhobo esizisebenzisayo, esizifezekisayo ngokupheleleyo,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Senze novavanyo oluqatha lokujika, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba le tube i-oval ethe tyaba inamandla ngama-54 ekhulwini kune-tube ejikelezileyo eqhelekileyo. Kodwa le reliing eneneni ayifani ne-handrail kune-'body rail' yokuphumla kuyo ngokukhululeka,” utshilo.
Umsebenzi kaTimeless uvele kwizakhiwo ezininzi ezidumileyo kunye nezakhiwo, kuquka ii-handrails zebhulorho yabahambi ngeenyawo edumileyo kaFoster + Partners (ekwaziwa ngokuba yiMillennium Bridge), kunye nesikhululo seetyhubhu zekamva ngaphakathi kweCanary Wharf yaseLondon. URon Arad uchaze iipayipi ze-oval zikaTimeless kwi-atrium yeTel Aviv Opera House ehloniphekileyo, edla ngokubonakala kwiincwadi zoyilo lwezakhiwo.
“Akunangqondo ukuyila izakhiwo ezintle kangaka uze uzigqibe ngeetyhubhu ezijikelezileyo eziqhelekileyo,” utshilo. “Ndicinga ukuba abakhi bezakhiwo ababalaseleyo bayakuqonda oko, yiyo loo nto sonwabela isiseko sabathengi bamazwe ngamazwe.”
Ngo-Epreli 2020, uGigi Aelbers, umnini weSynergigi and Montana, wathenga ityhubhu ye-oval yentsimbi engagqwali engama-316L kunye neejoyinti ezisi-8 kwiTimeless ukuze azisebenzise njengemilenze yekomishini yetafile yekofu eyenzelwe wena.
Kwisitayile uAelbers asichaza “njengomxube wezinto eziphilayo kunye nejiyometri”, ikhomishini iquka iitafile ezimbini ezintle ezingalinganiyo – enye ikwi-walnut emnyama kunye nenye ikwi-oki emhlophe – efakwe kwisimo se-U esiqhubekayo kwi-oval fittings edibeneyo. UAelbers kwakufuneka aqinisekise ukuba iragi ethambileyo yomthengi wakhe ayifihlwa yimilenze yetafile emikhulu. Wayefuna imibhobho emihle, engaphazamisiyo ukuze iragi ibonakale kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Wa-odola iisampulu kwiTimeless ukuqinisekisa ukuba unobungakanani obuchanekileyo betyhubhu.
Umenzi wentsimbi yokwakha uDaniel Boteler usebenzisa izihlanganisi ukudibanisa iityhubhu ezikwiikona, athi “kulula kunokwenza iidigri ezingama-45 kwisarha” kwaye ziphumela ekugqityweni okungcono. I-weld ithambile kuba yi-weld ethe tye endaweni ye-fillet weld. Ngamava angama-20 eminyaka yokwenza isinyithi, uBoteler uthi angathanda ukusebenzisa iityhubhu zesinyithi ezenziweyo kwakhona.
Imilenze yetafile etyhubhu igqunywe ngesanti ukuze ibonakale inombala wayo wokuqala. U-Albers usebenzisa ipeyinti kunye ne-beeswax ukwenza uphahla lwentsimbi "olungenazimbumbulu" azixuba nalo. Xa ebuzwa ukuba kutheni esenza umgudu omkhulu ekufumaneni imilo efanelekileyo yombhobho, u-Ebers uchaze wathi: “Konke kuxhomekeke kwizinto ezifihlakeleyo. Uninzi lwabantu luya kuqaphela ukuba bayayithanda, kodwa abazi ukuba kutheni. , ngaphandle kokuba bayayiqonda kakuhle. Yinto entsha emehlweni - ingqondo engaphantsi kwengqondo isenokuba iyazi ukuba intsha. Bayazi ukuba ayibukeki njengetafile yepikiniki epakini,” utshilo.
Ukusuka eTokyo ukuya eTopeka, iTimeless isoloko ibonelela ngeetyhubhu kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye uMntla Melika yeyona marike yayo inkulu yamazwe ngamazwe. UMcMillan ugqibe kwelokuba abathengi abanakufumana imilo nobukhulu obufanayo okanye umgangatho ofanayo kwenye indawo.
“Kuyacaca ukuba kukho iindleko zokuthumela ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe, kodwa ukuba umgangatho ubaluleke kakhulu, yindleko ekufanele ihlawulwe,” utshilo.
Ukongeza kwizinto zanamhlanje ezifana netafile kaSynergigi, iTimeless ikwabone ukuvuselelwa kweemilo zemveli. Abayili benkampani badla ngokucelwa ukuba bavelise okanye babuyisele izinto zesinyithi ngendlela yakudala. Phantse zibe zizinto eziqingqiweyo, ii-ovals zabo ezijijekileyo kunye neetyhubhu zesikwere zikhumbuza ifenitshala ejijekileyo yenkulungwane ye-17.
“Iityhubhu zethu ezijijekileyo zisetyenziswe kwimisebenzi yobugcisa, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye noyilo lokukhanyisa oluphezulu, kunye neebhalustrade ezenziwe ngokwezifiso,” utshilo uMcMillan. “Kwixesha lokuveliswa kweerobhothi, ndikholelwa ukuba abantu bafuna ukubona ubugcisa. Amagcisa kunye nabayili bayaqonda ukuba banokusebenzisa iityhubhu zethu ukuphucula uyilo lwabo.”
Ngaphandle kwezicelo zokwakha nezokuhlobisa, kukho amanye amathuba alindelekileyo. Kuyo nayiphi na idolophu okanye idolophu, apho naluphi na uluntu lusebenzisa khona iziseko zophuhliso, uMcMillan ukholelwa ukuba ii-apps zingongeza ubuchule ukuze zithathe indawo yezinto eziqhelekileyo okanye ezingathandekiyo.
“Ndiyayithanda ingcamango yokusebenzisa imibhobho ukuze ndifihle ngobuchule ii-vents ezingathandekiyo, okanye ndongeze isitayile kwizinyuko ezisebenzayo,” utshilo. “Sikholelwa ukuba, ngobuhle, ngokwe-ergonomic kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ngokwesakhiwo, ubude beetyhubhu ezibunjiweyo kwaye zenziwe zezona ndlela zingcono kuneetyhubhu eziqhelekileyo ezijikelezayo.”
I-Tube & Pipe Journal yaba yimagazini yokuqala ezinikele ekukhonzeni ishishini leepayipi zesinyithi ngo-1990. Namhlanje, iseyiyo yodwa impapasho eMntla Melika ezinikele kweli shishini kwaye ibe ngumthombo wolwazi othembekileyo kwiingcali zeepayipi.
