The first structural steel parts have arrived on the site. It doesn't mean that the tower will start to rise very soon. These beams are part of the top down contruction method for the underground floors. They will go down first and then the soil will dug around them and the floors will be attached to these beams as they dig deeper.




Foundation work is also still going on, especially in the corner that was demolished only recently.

More beams getting into the ground, they go in quite deep so they have to be welded together on the spot.

More from 10/12



I finally figured out that here they made holes where all the steel beams for the underground floors are welded together. Complete they are to big to be transported from the steel factory to the building site therefor they have to be welded together on site. But usually this happens horizontally and not vertically like here, but with the small size of the building site they have to do it differently to safe space.





New entrance ramp.

Japan's first supertall in Osaka Thanks a lot and keep updating Also can this thread be moved to Supertalls section.

[Momo1435]

There are actually 2 threads, although one of them has the wrong name in the title. I updated the right thread so you can see it there. I didn't post too much there recently since it's the same pictures over and over again. When it becomes more interesting I will post it also there more regularly.
