toxtethogrady Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thought I'd boost the signal on this one again, since an announcement showed up in the Houston Business Journal for the permits for this building today. Still 12 floors. The original HBJ article from 2019... Fairmont Museum District Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 More clearing has taken place and surveyors stakes. La Tapatia isn't going anywhere, at least not to this project. But the right price can change people's minds. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) The fact that they are loading up on the gravel tells me they are going to be using Vibro Stone Columns method of piers. Company I once worked for was building above ground tanks and the tank farm paid another contractor to use this method for piers before we came in to build the tanks. Keller Group, the company contracted to build the foundation here knows how to do this method. https://www.keller.com/expertise/techniques/vibro-stone-columns-vibro-replacement Edited March 12, 2022 by hindesky 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I asked this guy walking some questions about the building, he appeared to be the boss. He confirmed it will be 12 stories, will get a tower crane that will be located where they are filling this hole with rebar and the parking garage will be a built-in-place using the tower crane and not a precast. Edit: I saw the logo on his cap for the company building this but by the time I got home I couldn't remember the name.

hindesky Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Luffing tower crane by Maxim and the concrete contractor is Encore. That AT crane doesn't appear big enough to finish installing all of the crane to me.

hindesky Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Talking with a couple of Maxim workers they said the AT crane has enough boom and capacity to do the job, 263' fully extended out. https://www.manitowoc.com/grove/all-terrain-cranes/gmk6300l-1#specifications 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
