It doesn't look like the diagonals can be installed until after the platforms around the SE, NE, and NW mega columns are removed and/or raised. Those platforms are currently obstructing the anchors on the columns for the diagonals.

i meant to the wall pour

I don't envy those who have to rebar and concrete form on a brass monkey freezing day... >.<

 

[Irishmonk]

It looks like that rebar is starting to rust.

they must be getting close

That was my first thought at seeing today's photos. This is the only building I've watched going up, but it seems logical to me based on how little material is now scattered around compared to...well, almost all the rest of the time, that a pour is imminent.

Glad you got that Covid thing cleared then. And welcome back! <3

I have been watching this and have never seen a construction site move more slowly. Does anyone know what is going on?

Bit worried maybe the steel trades are walking off given inflationary pressures.

If you’ve been watching this then you’d see that there’s been steady progress, regardless if it’s slower than you think it should be. Plenty of rebar and form work being placed everyday. Nothing to worry about.

I hadn't watched *that* closely, so thanks for that . Speed is still worrying, given the massive cost pressure in steel, in particular, past below-grade delays on this project, and high-leverage combined with interest rate pressures. Maybe it's because these are atypical floors?

That’s the consensus, this should be the last atypical floor until the mechanical levels. It will be interesting to see how much the pace picks up over the next couple of months after they’ve finished with this one.

Thanks for the great pictures. I read you were sick? I hope you're all better now. Also, it's amazing how dense the downtown looks in this picture, with a lot more to come.

I would assume that they purchased and paid for the steel in advance of construction at an agreed upon amount. I don't know anything about this sort of stuff, but I would imagine that's how it happens.

That’s exactly how it happens - especially right now with long lead times for steel.
