September 24, 20186 yr Quick question for the construction experts....if you look at the Lumens web cam, it looks like they are done drilling the caissons? Everything is cleared out? Not sure what you are asking.
September 24, 20186 yr Whats the next step? If the shoring is done, then they'll move onto excavation for foundations including the building core and tower crane foundation - which may be incorporated into a stair, elevator or a ventilation shaft. Then they'll move on to underground MEPS work and other underground utilities. Then steel.

September 28, 20186 yr Just got noticed of street closures around playhouse square...looks like some exciting events coming up at the lumen! For the October 4-7, 6 ton crane installation, crosswalks will remain open at E.14th and E.17th. For the October 22 mat pour, the Euclid crosswalk at Starbucks will have a “Sidewalk Closed” sign on it. Pedestrians can cross E.17th, then cross Euclid on the west side of the intersection.

September 29, 20186 yr Yep, looks like crane foundations. Just got done watching the full timelapse of excavation, looks like they have 9 pretty large sunk foundations in the soil.
September 29, 20186 yr 6 ton crane is relatively small, correct? Looks pretty big to me.... http://m.towercraneequipment.com/sale-6136660-6-ton-56m-topkit-fixed-tower-crane-boom-with-spare-parts-wire-rope.html?

September 30, 20186 yr "6 tons" refers to what the crane is capable of lifting, not the weight of the crane itself. It can be any size though; here's hoping it'll be a tower crane. :)

October 1, 20186 yr Tower crane base has arrived: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 1, 20186 yr Building from the center, LOVE IT Maybe the center of the site, but isn't the tower portion going to be right up against 17th and Euclid? With the garage built to the west and south of the site (bottom of the photo). That would mean the tower crane will be attached to an outside anchor point not in the middle.
October 1, 20186 yr Yes, I think that's the point where the tower meets the garage. So the tower crane will likely be attached to the west side of the skyscraper. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

October 1, 20186 yr Cool photo. Those parking garages sure do come in handy for vantage points! :) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 1, 20186 yr Has the 10 million county loan been approved? Since you see the crane you would think so. But there was no announcement and this loan has been floating around for a couple of months.
October 2, 20186 yr @DowntownCLE 2m2 minutes ago ?600-Ton Tower Crane Arriving in @PSQDistrict ? Read + share: http://ow.ly/cpWL30m49Lo "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 4, 20186 yr Up thread we thought it was 6 tons. 600 tons is significantly larger. Haha! Six tons is its lifting capacity. If it's not a typo, the 600 tons may refer to how much the tower and crane will weigh. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 6, 20186 yr I'm occasionally checking the Lumen webcam to watch the progress of the tower crane installation, at: http://www.playhousesquare.org/about-playhousesquare-main/playhouse-square-apartment-tower Rev. Brown has some words of encouragement.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 6, 20186 yr The tower crane is now attached to the shaft. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 8, 20186 yr Annnnd that's probably the last we'll see of the actual crane from this webcam angle. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 9, 20186 yr Technically the garage is rising already - hard to see from this angle but the lowest level ramp is taking shape: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 9, 20186 yr So why don't you want us to like your photos, @MayDay? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 9, 20186 yr Hmm, not sure - @richNcincy is there a setting I need to fix? clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 9, 20186 yr 3 minutes ago, MayDay said: Hmm, not sure - @richNcincy is there a setting I need to fix? Fixed!
October 9, 20186 yr And liked! It's hard to gauge depth, but it looks like the tower crane won't be able to turn toward the Hanna Building or else it would hit it -- until it grows taller than the Hanna Building. Probably no big deal anyway since the garage will be on that side of the parcel and could be constructed with a smaller mobile crane.

October 9, 20186 yr First post via phone on the new forum setup - last of the first crane sections going up. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 9, 20186 yr Guess I spoke too soon ? FE0C95C1-ECC4-40A8-8AFB-B20EBAB3FD97.MOV clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 9, 20186 yr I wonder if it'll jump again before the Beacon crane comes down so we have two in the skyline. Edited October 9, 20186 yr by Mendo
October 10, 20186 yr That should jump it just higher than any building in front of it. And as far as I know There's plenty of work still needed to be done involving the crane on the Beacon. They still need the cladding done, they need the AC and pump units up top, and they still need glass which is in progress as we speak actually.

October 10, 20186 yr Is it me or are the pictures showing in a much higher quality after the site update? Is the new site more capable of displaying larger file sizes, which means less compressed images?
October 11, 20186 yr You are now able to resize images inside the text box as they appear, maybe they seem better in quality as they were edited so they could be a manageable size. Also with the new update Twitter Tweets are posted and displayed in full.
October 12, 20186 yr This doesn't focus on the Lumen construction, but oh well Guess you have to click on it to see the full size version? clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 12, 20186 yr I see what you did there... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
