Glad to see this building is actually starting to go up instead of down.

Probably vital information for us.
And I bet she's even not aware of how important this is.

Hey, that file the woman is holding looks like a new issue of national geographic magazine. Could it be?? I could be getting myself a copy.

What I heard is, two columns are poorly casted and have to be broken and re-casted.

Fabb · #**391** Posted **Nov 24, 2004, 7:33 PM**

No big deal. As long as it doesn't take forever.

vincent · #**392** Posted **Nov 24, 2004, 11:34 PM**

good model!
Overrate, i wanna know why they use the traditional concrete encasement method to form the floor slab underground? They did the same for 2ifc underground also, then steel slab above ground. Why not use steel slab underground?

Very impressive. I can't wait for it to rise above the surface--can't wait to see steel beams going up.

This skyscraper will put all others to shame with its beauty and massiveness.
