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 .
Hell ya who was structural engineer and who did the concrete testing great job man!!!
How many floors where finished before you poured the roof?? How long did it take for the top slab pour did you use a cycling pump or did you crane the mud.?
Pretty cool man... did any one drop anything big?
You shoud be proud.
Who supplied the mud down there and whats the price per m3 ,in van these days...on rainy days did you just pour and grind after or did you flood with agilia after...
Something of that volume i would have bought the steel from china and a bender and highered the sub install crews direct..and paid heavy... i mean if i was in that buisness.

Ive worked on the water my whole life and can’t imagine working elsewhere, I started as a Commercial Fisherman and thanks to Bogman (Eddy) he gave me my first opportunity as Captain and I’ve never looked back, from there I went Tow boating and thanks to Dutch (Mike) for pointing me in the right direction I became a pilot.
Yes but how many days a month does a pilot have to work good sir???
