Excavation for the largest pile cap is in progress. So as you can see, the piles are drilled from grade, and then they are uncovered up to the depth of the pile cap. The most labor intensive part of this installation is chipping the piles down to the bottom of the cap. See pictures.

We have uncovered all the piles that support one set of elevators. The next step is to chip the piles down to the bottom, then reinforcing steel will be installed for this huge cap.

Installation of structural steel at the 2-story portion of the project has started. This process should last for two weeks pending weather conditions. The picture shows the steel members on the ground and the small crane used for installation. Some of the steel members are already standing on the slab.

Lord Kez007, first of all WELL DONE and GOOD JOB. This construction is organised and the way you use pix to explain the progress makes the building very easy but the fact is that so much of labour and brain work have gone into it! Please keep teaching us o. |
Re: Construction Of A 10 Story Office Building by kez007: 10:25pm On Feb 16, 2012 |
@atasteve, You are very correct. Good planning is key to successful execution. We should always measure ten times and cut once, instead of measuring once and cutting 10 times. thanks for the encouraging words. 1 Like |
