July 30th 2004. Diggin' like craze !

Hmmm, let me guess, another year or so until they finish digging that hole?

A posting on the cameraunion thread says underground structure would probably start in Oct, unless the Long Yuan Group is trying to make some troubles, which is the contractor of the "hole" and has lost in bidding for the main structure contract.

July 21th 2004, a pic from skyscraperpage gallery. Impressive view, the WFC will be really close to the JinMao tower.

dchen, the contract for the main tower was announced? who got the contract?

The Chinese words on the site in the photo above mean "Long Yuan Construction", the contractor of the SWFC "hole". The posting I mentioned does not indicate who wins the main tower contract but says Long Yuan is out now.

August 4th 2004. Activities are nearly totally out of sight now ! We are going to need photos from another angle.

How much deeper will the hole go? Somebody will have to take pictures from Jin Mao.

dig dig dig,
let's keep diggin...

some activities is always better than none

Yeah, that's true, but I was really hoping to see some metal raising up...

:no: :rock: :no:

All we can do is hope against hope that after the foundation is finished, steel will start to rise. Even though I do not have a good feeling about SWFC, I really hope it goes up.
