Just like on the videos for the construction of the original Twin Towers there is concrete work going on in there. You can see they remove the tarp once the concrete dries by looking at the areas were the tarp used to be. From there on out they just wait for the glass to make its way up there.

I believe he was referring to the black netting that started on the Southeast corner of the base floors 6-19 and has spread over the last few weeks to cover almost the whole South side as well. It even has its own external staircase near the Southeast corner.
Some have said it is protection for the workers preparing for the base cladding. I find this difficult to believe. It seems like a lot of work and resources for something they had so far done just with a swing stage. Up until they realized the prismatic glass wouldn't work, they had used workers on a swing stage through crappy weather to weld on all the white support brackets for the prismatic glass. Now suddenly they require all that scaffolding and netting? I think not.
This is may be partially for that reason but there is more to its use then we seem to know.
