Hi all.
Holy Smokes !!!
The fins have been done inside where we can't see. I guess there was room. .
As I posted yesterday they may jack 30m. and stop to install fins. Since all the fins are on there is no need to stop there. By the looks of the various angles (nice shots guys) every fin is installed.
It looks to me they jacked enough so tier 26 is just above the large temp. platform on top of section 22. They will surely stop and add the one small wing on tier 26 and clad it ?
Then jack untill tier 25 is exposed and stop to add the 2 small wings.
Then jack untill tier 24 is exposed and stop to add the 3 small wings.
Then jack to top out and add the 2 sections left of the second big(ger) wing of tier 22, the small wings of tier 22(1) and tier 23 (2), and connections to finish up.
There will probably be more stages but these are the major ones the way I see it - we shall see.
The top access platform still looks unfinished without the handrail and BMU monorail but perhaps I should stop flogging that dead horse ...
Here is some of OTR's shots from SSC:
- with some labels
- showing where the one small wing of tier 26 will go
It looks to me that approx. 6m. of tier 29 is above the top beams of section 23B. So 739.3 + ~6.4 + 21.3 + 1 (for the beacons) = 768m. or 2520 feet. Yet another fantastic new record in the history of man made structures.
Top out should be in Jan. '09.
Great time to be a skyscraper watcher/fanatic.
