NEW YORK | One World Trade Center | 1,776' Pinnacle / 1,373' Roof | 108 FLOORS - Page 339

It looks like they'll be making a jump to either tne next floor or finally at floor 20. And there are two more levels to go in the base(one and a roof), so they're not done with the base yet.

The cranes don't work on the weekends. If they do, it was a few weeks ago and it was to assemble that tower crane for the PATH terminal. The south memoorial pool steel is installed on weekends though, and they have to fill in another 3/4ths of the pool before it's rounded off.

Hopefully they will install the perimeter cranes when they reach floor 20 or 21, so that's not a long wait(they already have the tower elevators up).

What are the long thin light gray vertical thingies near the corners of the structure between the 3rd and 5th floors. They don't exactly align from section to section (see #2).

The answer to #2 is, that's an 8 inch square tube with a plate welded to it to support a glass baffle. Part of the air plenum around the base mech. floors.

Man, that pic makes it look like it will be a REALLY tight, dark passage between the FT and the Vessey.

I doubt people will use that passage anyways after the construction is done since they could just walk through the WTC's parks and plazas instead.

This is so unreal. I can't believe this thing is rolling. For the longest time, 1WTC was just those two little concrete stumps, and now it is turning into a tower. Incredible.

The Verizon Building Will Really Be Hidden

Is it going to be slowed down soon due to the core being behind the steel?

TANGELD_SLC · #**6769** Posted **Dec 12, 2009, 8:45 AM**

It's so awesome to finally see this thing taking shape. I just wish it hadn't taken so long.

No it goes just like up to this point - once they get the floor somewhat "finished", they continue on the core and so on...

How are the other towers doing? I have to assume the other towers are going to take about the same time as one world trade center but it doesn't look like much is being done.

The other Towers will be built. Perhaps not when we want then to be built but they will be built - infrastructure work is going on at the moment.

You can follow the progress of Tower 4 here:

Once the base is done it is supposed to grow on a floor per week basis so if they are done with the base in one month by September they should have added around 30 floors to the base

Wait didn't they say they planing to be up to 20th floor by February?

wong21fr · #**6779** Posted **Dec 13, 2009, 9:50 PM**

^He means 30 floor plus the twenty floor base, so around fifty floors or so by September.
