fatesdisastr Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The excavator-mounted hydraulic jackhammer they have on site today is making my desk vibrate, making it hard to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) ^The perhaps you should use that as an excuse to start the weekend a little early. And boy, the folks who own a condo on the northern side of the finished Randall Davis place (can't think of the name right now) are going to really get a great view of just what BHP Billiton folks desks look like when they aren't working! Sucks for them. Edited November 8, 2013 by arche_757 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 how come this one is getting a crane so fast and Astoria still hasnt gotten a proper crane yet, even though theyve been working on the site for months? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 how come this one is getting a crane so fast and Astoria still hasnt gotten a proper crane yet, even though theyve been working on the site for months? The BHP site has been much more active than the Astoria site since BHP broke ground. Astoria keeps drilling holes on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Crane is going up just after New Years! Just got this in an email. Great! Very exciting to see some of these projects start coming out of the ground. It seems we've had to wait a very long time to get these things going.

mfastx Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for the updates. I like how they didn't even completely tear out the parking lot, just the spot where the tower is and they left the rest of it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota79 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I love the overhead shots that show the Astoria, BHP and the down Post Oak Blvd. If I was a betting man, I would say Wille G's days are numbered. That is a huge plot of land, and absolutely underutilized. What a great place for a serious high-rise. Maybe a hotel, since Fertitta is in that business.

swtsig Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The hole they've dug for BHP is massive. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Speaking of holes was anyone else around when they poured the slab for the two main towers of Greenway Plaza back when they were working on that project. I remember going there one night and seeing hundreds of cement mixers ringing the hole for the pour. If I remember correctly it was the largest concrete pour in Houston history. If I remember correctly they also had quite a few Ice trucks there to supply ice. Forgive me if I'm getting this wrong, but it seemed like someone explained they were doing it at night because of the amount of heat that that large a pour of concrete created. I believe they used the ice somehow in the pour. The hole they have dug for the new Hanover Morningside project is pretty impressive for the village.
