Yeah this thread is way behind...thought I'd post a current cam shot from today. (Would post except can't figure out how to post images on this forum et) The main tower piers have been poured for the tower and they are currently excavating and preparing the site for the mat foundation (pier cap) that will form the base of the tower. They are working to drill and pour the support piers for the two tower cranes for this project in the coming day or so and the tower cranes should be set in the next week or so.
The parking garage has been doubled in size and capacity now at 10 stories high and a westward expansion is well underway. There was a delay yesterday as there was an accident on the West expansion of the parking facility where a precast concrete wall section shifted in the wind during a pick. The section hit one of the three precast concrete columns that was not secured with the double tee slabs yet and sent it tumbling. It hit another column and the two of them fell into the alley behind the site, adjacent to the downtown library. Missed the library by mere feet. They also landed between two parked cars! Additional damage was caused as the precast double tees the column fell on colapsed and likewise caused failure to the slabs below.
Devon estimates the delay on this area of construction at no more than one days worth of work. Fortunately there was no loss of life with this accident. the collapse was caught on security footage from the library. The footage is available on line.
