Interesting. Those last set of pics made me wonder the same thing.

Will the base cladding be the last thing to be done?
check out the piece of cladding that was delivered on the northeast side of the tower it has been unwrapped... is this the day we have all been waiting for????

Update:First piece of cladding is up and shining bright. in the northeast corner

Yeah just grabbed a few quick shots and will post em up when I get back home... Path is a bit slow at the weekends(anyone would think there was construction).

FYI it's the floor 20 north east corner.

Looks to be a pretty busy day today as more pieces look like they're being unwrapped (taken a minute ago):

Pbellamy · #**10894** Posted **Nov 14, 2010, 3:29 PM**

Thanks for the great visual aids !

Plokoon11 · #**10897** Posted **Nov 14, 2010, 4:01 PM**

Just curious how do they install these windows/cladding to the building?

Pbellamy · #**10898** Posted **Nov 14, 2010, 4:04 PM**

This should help in answering that question...

If you look at the pic in the post above this one you can see the brackets set into the edge of the floor slab. They just bolt em on.

Looks like they are getting ready to lift the first piece for the southeast corner. This one is in full view of the earthcam !
