It took about one day to lift and place the grillage on top of the tower.

"The work is timber grillage, but otherwise the materials are largely Roman."

A grillage or network of timber was laid.

The 500-ton grillage was lifted 500 feet in the air and was placed over the fourth set of columns.

The grillage rests on a thick concrete pad poured directly onto the hard clay under the ground.

The pile driving was finally complete in 1851 and the wooden grillage was the next layer constructed.

The column rests directly on a cast-iron plate, which sits on top of a grillage.

The grillage is basically a stack of horizontal steel beams, lined side-by-side in two or more layers (see diagram, below).

In marine construction and bridge building a crisscross of timbers or steel beams in concrete is called grillage.

The lobby is flanked by storefront spaces, whose transom windows are accented by a horizontal grillage.

The deck structure comprises a grillage consisting of the deck slab with longitudinal girders and cross-girders.

Before the digging of the freight tunnels, shallow spread foundations were common using iron grillage to spread the heavy weight where tall buildings were involved.

Piles of timber were driven thirty-two feet underground, on top of which was laid a grillage of steel, filled with cement.

Set It To Grillage (The Crowsnest)

The deck of the bridge consists of reinforced concrete grillage supported by a pair of abutments and longitudinal reinforced concrete girders.

The fifth and final tower phase was to lift a grillage that weighs about 500 tons, lift the main 450-ton cable saddle, and finally lift the final tower head which will complete the entire SAS tower.

The ruins currently exposed are those of a large stone amphitheatre, similar to those found in Continental Europe, and although it was long believed that a smaller wooden amphitheatre existed on the site beforehand, excavations since 1999 have shown that the wooden grillage is the base of the seating.
