In the middle of October we completed another major milestone - our largest concrete pour of the project. It took roughly 14 hours to pour over 2800 cubic yards of concrete for the building foundation.
Moving on up! We have started to pour vertical columns and walls for the basement levels. We will start to form Level 1 and 2 in the near future and you will finally be able to see something from the street level!
The picture to the right is showing the shearwall being poured.
The building's shearwall is a vertical element that is designed to resist in-plane lateral forces, taking on the wind and seismic loads.
The shearwall at Level B2 can be seen below, this wall will continue up the whole building.
Over the next several months you will see a regular cycle of trucks driving on and off site as rebar and concrete are put in place. and bringing all this material on site SAFELY!
