Looks interesting, we'll see how it holds up in an earthquake.
Re: What do you do for work
Who supplied your rebar? and concrete?..
How many meters total did you do?. What did the raw structure cost per square ft?
Did you hit a floor per week turn around on the tables and lastley who formed it?

Very cool Lever, very cool.
I'm sort of retired now, entrepreneur for many years.
Re: What do you do for work
I make all of the steel framing that goes into those buildings.
Re: What do you do for work
Heavy duty mechanic. I used to be in forestry but now it’s mining. I haven’t been responsible for anything that elaborate, but I’ll see if I can dig up some pics of my logging days. The current company doesn’t allow us to take pics of the mine, nevermind post them online.

Framed and formed for 10 years , now been a movie carp for the last 5 years. Pretty entertaining, good benefits for a family man

Re: What do you do for work
There was 29,000 m3 overall from raft foundation to roof slab.
Carion was our forming contractor
LMS supplied and installed the reinforcing.
we were 8 days slab to slab to level 39 where a chunk of the core dropped away after successfully vertically post tensioning. Core was a beast at 170m3
32 columns along with 2 large shear walls that produced columns as the structure grew east meant a 1 day vertical was not possible.
at level 46 another potion of the core dropped away and we stepped down to a 6 day cycle with the core still broaching 120m3, .
$300 million overall
Re: What do you do for work
This building is very unified in that it has a spine
, It is vertically post tensioned to level 36 with 11 stands 3” diameter from underside of raft, 85 feet below street level to level 36.
The structure from level 23 was built out of plumb ~ 20 mm floor over floor to the west to compensate for the weight of the superstructure growing to the east.
It is anticipated the structure will find its equilibrium in 14-20 years
the structure was also placed on the lot considering a detailed study of plate tectonics here on the west coast., meaning that we know which way the earth is gonna move if there is a big earthquake.
it has a better chance of being hit by a meteor and falling over vs falling over in a seismic event .
