Not sure either, I posted the pic here & Wolf Point. The barge is parked close to any of these location. They do seem freakin' big for the riverwalk.

That section of the riverwalk is getting a large seating area/theatre on top.

^how lovely

Looks like the caissons are finished. Drilling rigs are being packed up.

^ six weeks and done. Nice efficient job. They could save on gas and just take them across the street. If 150 isn't quite ready for caissons today, I believe they will be in less than a week....

Sorry if this has been stated already, but what's the timeframe for completion on this?

[SamInTheLoop]

^ First quarter 2017.............will appear nearly complete from exterior by fourth quarter 2016 however......

[Skyguy_7]

^ HomrQT, are you asking about the Riverwalk project or River Point's riverwalk? Sam is correct about RP, but the completion date for the portion of the Riverwalk pictured is Dec 2015.

^I think we crossed paths, George. I was on my bike and rolled down Canal while [you?] were scrolling through your camera, perhaps looking for the money shot. Were you wearing a black t-shirt and shorts?

Rust removed

[george]

Orange shirt that day... but always looking for the money shot.

This may be an ignorant question, but where are the caissions hiding in this picture? Are they simply out of view, or are they completely buried at this stage?

They completely bury them as they put them in to allow equipment (including the cassion rigs themselves) to freely navigate the site. A 100 ton crane isn't exactly nimble. They'll uncover them when they are ready to pour the mat.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

seeing some type of metal going into the ground on the construction cam. the core maybe? looks too big to be that though.
