Work involving the installation or assembly of bolts; the system of bolts used to hold something together.
Compound of 'bolt' and 'work,' a common English formation for describing labor or the results of labor. Used both for the physical work and the finished assemblage.
In modern architecture, the boltwork on skyscrapers is so precise that engineers use laser measurements to ensure each bolt hole aligns perfectly—a deviation of even a quarter inch across a 100-story building can cause structural problems.
