I am sorry to inform you that the forum member that you all knew as Zensteeldude died from injuries sustained in an auto accident on April 20th, the day before his 49th birthday.

Know that his...

I see what you are saying but the s/f of the no longer to be restaurant was roughly 35,000 s/f. I don't think it's the size, there must be other issues. There are many much smaller very successful...

I have a construction planning calender at work, it shows, on average, how many days of rain/snow per month to expect in an average year. I'm sure the contractors working the site chucked they'res in...

Yes, I agree Zippy. What they did is fitting to the site.

Also, swamp white oak may actually be tough enough to survive in New York.:)

OK, I was wondering if the new tower could actually lift it.

Thanks for the info Dude.

Ready for work !

I bet one of the first things it does is take down and lift out that crawler crane.

I'll bet money that something similar is going on inside with the core as well. Although they won't have to actually remove the entire diagonal brace, just the parts that interfere with openings in...

Then I guess the Mrs. will just have to buy her own ticket !:) (Yea, right)

I wouldn't put too much weight on the section count the PA gave. The box girder ends at the supers.

By my calculations about 70% of the box beam is in place. They are going to have to install...

The first post on every page has an annoying ad. Sometimes the ad gets in the way of the post.

Mellow.

Thanks Daquan, though I have no idea what those 100 points will get me .:)




Or will it ?!? Speaking as the friend of a mother who lost a son on 9/11 she is more than willing to never have...

Your perspective is unique and very much appreciated. Thanks GB.

^^^ Thanks GB.

I hope everyone is praying for a mild DRY spring !

This'll keep the flying rats at bay.

From this angle it's quite clear, #7 is in front of T1 and I see columns just barely sticking up above 7. So, it's official, T1 is now the tallest building in the WTC complex.

Only 20 ?
Just kidding, welcome Dude.

I could not agree with you more.

Any and all of my teasing of Daquan13 was due to affection. Yes, he is annoying but, he is our Daquan13 !!! All you other forums lay off !!!!!!

Daquan13...

I had to post a comment just to see what LL was saying. Those ads are so anoying.

By my calculations it's still 2" shorter than 7. and it's not ground zero, it's the new WTC site.

Post something here about everyone jumping off a bridge . . . . . would you, knowing they are...

Remember the fuel cells delivered to T1 awhile back? When they need changing, the only way to change them is truck them up that not so little ramp. Also, all the day to day needs of the tenants will...

Boom.

Actually, it's a jib boom, but boom has more impact.

^^^ Yes, a tower for a crane ! Once again, thanks GB !

STR, that rendering should be in the Museum !



Looks like we might actually pass T7 this coming week ! Thanks GB.

Any one of the towers at the WTC would be the tallest in almost any city in the world.

As the towers "break free" of the surrounding skyline there true Majesty will be seen by all. (But being in...

The crane rental, steel fabrication and erection are all by one company, Cornelle. That probably simplifies things a bit. If worse comes to worse, they will probably take the cranes down and just...
