Not sure what time the pic you posted at 11am was actually taken, but one piece of steel became half a dozen in Benito's post a couple of hours later
. Kudos to Erik and the guys working below.

Going to be really interesting seeing them work on the elevator shaft. Lot's of steel and concrete await...
Also I guess the cat's out of the bag for the Apple store with what appears to be a ventilation component?

When was the cat bagged?
LOL
Also.....seriously, who was bagging cats that this phrase became a thing?
When I adopted kittens when I was 8, from the pet store, they came boxed! (yes with air holes!)
The cat has been out of the bag for a few years, the word 'Apple' appeared on architectural plans ages ago, it's just that some people refuse to accept the obvious, leading to posts repeated ad nauseum that it's not certain since there's been no official announcement. So as to not let this thread get tiresome again, I'll boot any following posts that go on about this.

There was also some info I read on LinkedIn regarding the formwork solutions that will be used once they finish up these last few floors.
Doka is being used to provide a self-climbing system that will build the core, (I assume something similar to this https://www.doka.com/us/system-grou...tic-climbing-formwork/super-climber-scp/index). The formwork will be raised hydraulically and move the concrete placing boom with it. A self-climbing hydraulic protection screen will also be used on the exterior for the installation of the façade elements to protect those below (https://www.doka.com/en/system-groups/doka-safety-systems/protection-screens/xclimb-60/index).
This climbing supercore system by Doka was also used at the infamous 432 Park Avenue supertall project in New York City. Heres a video:

I am so glad they are starting to build up the main structure again as opposed to just building around it.
And oh look, those new beams reach past the super columns! <3

Does anybody else get the sense that this project is incredibly slow? 11 months ago they were at grade - Now maybe 5-6 floors up....The workers that are going to finish this building aren't even born yet! Like another Sagrada Familia. Imagine the equipment that was ordered for this project 5 years ago will be antiquated before its even installed.....
Great Building but this kills developers.....

a) There's been a pandemic for the past year and a half. Labour shortages, materials delays, etc.
b) This building has a more complex design than the vast majority of buildings.
c) Every building is technically obsolete by the time it tops off; welcome to the modern pace of technological/engineering advances.
How does this kill developers?

It sneaks into their bedrooms at night and put's a pillow their heads. This will be even more an impressive feat when it reaches 338 metres...
