Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

A couple more screenshots from today. The first is a zoom on the core -- it sure looks like the steel framework is attached to the tie posts:

The second is a tight zoom on the top of the pouring frame:

That steel frame is obviously just for the scaffolding staircase--nothing to do with structural steel imo.

How much longer must we wait for the steel?

Why are the corners cut out on the north side of the core and not on the south side?

Stairwell?

Look there are doors next to the cut outs in the core.....

The stariwell can be made of steel, right?

gotta join in ...

How will the crane be dismantled when the tower tops out?

^with wrenches, human muscle and a small crane hoisted to top of building: a very dangerous job that pays very well: $100+/hour!

PS I think they'll use the Trump crane to lift this one down, and then the Trump crane will stay up there, weathervaning in the hot air forever.

The so call steel for the tower is part of the slip form.

From my experience, the core of the tower has to be between 6-10 floors before the steel erections begins. Once the steel erection has started, the tower crane has to be use for both the steel erection as well working on the core.

From Bay looking south

Main Columns anchor bolts and support for false wall of old building. Anchor bolts are smaller and less of them from buildings I have seen in the past.

4 pockets for main steel columns with anchor bolts waiting for steel.

You just wanted to be able to say steel erection....admit it.


Nice pics though - thanks for posting!
