Progress continues on the foundation. Today, tendons were installed on the core footing pads. Drilling continued for tendons to be installed on the two right hand tower footing pads. A chute was installed by the 56St. fence late this afternoon, for delivery of concrete into the three tower footings that have column reinforcement installed. The presumed method of concrete delivery will be thru the 56St. fence at the street via the chute to the turned-around excavator bucket and swung directly to the footing forms. I am presuming that concrete delivery will commence around 7:00AM (EST).
With the ramp essentially gone, one Hitachi excavator that was used to remove the ramp is now at grade level, and has been used as a crane to transfer building items and supplies down to the working level below. Per the isometric floor plan drawing superimposed over the photograph provided by scalziand, there are five tower footings left to construct.
The interest aspect in the construction of the foundation will be the final removal of the remains of the ramp at the Park Avenue side, and the pouring of the rest of the slab on grade. I am guessing that some machines will vacate the site soon.
