April 1, 20223 yr I’m not much of a gambler but I’m just hoping we get cranes up on one or both sites before I hit the 5.0. in a month 👍 clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
April 5, 20223 yr Author Wow, they're a long way from a tower crane. Need to finish the sheet piling, excavate the site, pour the matte foundation and then we're ready for a crane.

April 5, 20223 yr The footprint is really not all that big. Now that they've actually started construction l would expect the building will begin rising in 3 months or so.

April 21, 20223 yr Was that quite a bit “post-game”? Looks like almost everybody at The Beacon had gone to sleep 💤

May 5, 20223 yr Fear not people! I took an extended lunch break and tackled the task myself!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 5, 20223 yr lol next UO meetup at this parking deck?? Figure we're all up there a bunch as it is lol
May 5, 20223 yr Author Might as well just meet in the communal lunch room on the 10th floor of the City Club Building (where my office was from 2011-2014). It has a great view of this construction site. Looks like we're still weeks away from concrete foundation work let alone a tower crane.

May 5, 20223 yr Glad to see this filled in, but it is going to be so confusing having two City Club Buildings right next to each other.

May 10, 20223 yr Who among us knows what’s going on with the green pipes in MayDay’s pic above from today? Are those putting pressure on the top of the outer walls? Is this going to be a poured mat foundation or will they be using caissons?

May 10, 20223 yr They're probably using the big green pipes to shore up the wall & make sure the dirt behind it doesn't collapse & bury a worker.

Same thing with the diagonal corner braces you see in the upper left. https://www.instagram.com/cle_and_beyond/https://www.instagram.com/jbkaufer/
May 12, 20223 yr Author Getting close to a tower crane. The CM and the city are working on trying to nail down a date for its delivery/set up. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

May 13, 20223 yr These are some extreme reinforcement measures I don’t ever recall seeing. The piles driven in around the perimeter are meant to serve that purpose.

It's Cleveland Construction's first high-rise from foundation-up, so perhaps they're airing on the side of caution? 57 minutes ago, GISguy said: ...didn't City Club Bldg owners object to the construction over fears of vibration and whatnot? Or am I making that up. Then again, they're pretty much building up against three buildings so safe vs sorry? That's what it first sounded like from the way an application was submitted to the city -- incorrectly I might add -- from the owner of the City Club Building (EV Bishoff). But the city staffer looked at the wrong parcel when entering the data.

The extra reinforcement is required because they used wood instead of steel sheet piling to save money. And to limit the amount of vibrations in installing the shoring system since they are building very near historical buildings.

When they drove the steel sheet piling in for the Lumen, I heard that there was a lot of vibration in the Hanna building next door. I didn't hear of any damage to pipes or anything, but definitely some very annoyed tenants.

June 3, 20223 yr So there's concrete at the bottom of that excavation. What comes next? Do they pour concrete up to ground level to form a poured mat foundation?
June 3, 20223 yr Wow! I'm glad there's people in this photo... the scale of the hole was lost on me without those people and the folding table in the picture. 3 hours ago, GREGinPARMA said: It’s lonely up here on the rooftop today. Atleast the weather is gorgeous Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 3, 20223 yr That concrete looks so new l thought it was freshly poured. So more to come on the base? Too bad. I was hoping to see something going upward soon.
June 3, 20223 yr Going by the Lumen construction, we'll know when it's time to pour the mat. It takes days to build the lattice of rebar, probably a couple feet thick. Then cement trucks lined up around the block throughout the day.
