One of the tower has reached the 1/3rd stage. The 8th and 9th floors seem to be u/c. Now that they are on their way, it should not take much time to complete the rest of the 20-odd floors. Giving one floor around 8-10 days, they should complete at least one tower in the next 5-6 months i.e. around August-September. The second tower seems to be on the 2nd or 3rd floor stage (it is hidden behind the first one). And they have added one more crane. So 2 cranes for 2 towers.

The 12th floor is u/c. A month back, in my last update the 8th floor was u/c. So it proves that they are going at 4 floors per month.

The view from the tallest point of the tower 1, I think the entire levelled area for GIFT is visible here.

GJ - TY for collating all the updates into one thread. It's worth posting a map showing the location of Block Q as well:

and here are some images taken on March 9. These have been gleaned off of Yahoo News, The News and Netscape Sports who originally sourced it from the AFP.

Massive updates and its awesome.

Great job GJ10 and IU.....

Great job on this thread IU and GJ

gandhi.rushabh1992 · March 29th, 2012, 02:57 PM

As seen in the pic provided by IU, the current block being developed i.e. block Q does not lie in the SEZ zone, while the rest of the area has been granted SEZ status. They are trying to get SEZ status for block P and Q also.

up2009 · March 29th, 2012, 04:45 PM

Thanks GJ10. Happy to see great info.

QC1
floors - G+28 (122m)
company - L&T
floors completed - 11 completed & 12th u/c
rate of work - initially 9 days/floor but now 7 days/floor
workers involved - 1000 (majority Indians)

QC2
floors - G+28 (122m)
company - ANC
floors completed - 4 completed & 5th u/c
rate of work - after completion of first 5 five floors rate will be 5 days/floor
workers involved - 400(all from Dubai)

Though L&T has completed 11 floors local people bet that ANC will complete it faster than L&T. Because ANC is using latest technologies.

QC2 has also record of placing 1200 cubic meter concrete in just 36 hours. This is biggest mass concreting record in whole Gujarat. Ahead record was of Sardar Sarovar Dam of 400 cubic meter.

There are total 12 passenger + 2 service elevators, so total 14 elevators in each tower.

At every seven floor interval a emergency space will be provided so in case of fire, occupants can go that emergency area.

In case of very very strong earthquake also building can stand for 5 minutes so people can move out of the tower in mean time. So special methods are adopted.

There will be total 4+4 lane arterial road and at central there will be landscaping+Metro and below it there will be a huge hollow corridor to pass cables, water, etc.

Mr. Modi wants to dedicate both the towers to nation on 15th August 2012. So, they are very pressurized for completion of towers till that date.

Good update @CivilEngineer. Plz. update on this thread regularly. We need to show that not all projects in India are foolish imagination, some do get materialize.

I am so happy to hear this. Now that is future proof!

MYSTIC · April 6th, 2012, 03:48 PM

Should they start with Block A? Why did they tag them randomly?

***IndiansUnite*** · April 6th, 2012, 08:28 PM

^ In the grand scheme of things, this block isn't significant in any aspect. There's a method to the naming - all the landmark towers have been allocated to A-H blocks with the rest of the alphabets assigned to the peripheral buildings.

Meanwhile, another render of QC-1 :

gandhi.rushabh1992 · April 7th, 2012, 04:23 AM

These architectural renders dont have that tube thing connecting the two towers. So was it just a proposal or a suggestion? Or wait, is that the tube at the lower right corner

gandhi.rushabh1992 · April 15th, 2012, 04:32 PM

Update - 15th April 2012

QC1 - 17th floor u/c

QC2 - 7th floor u/c

CivilEngineer079 · April 15th, 2012, 05:55 PM

amazing

are you sure Rusabh that it is 17th floor??? Bcs

On 30th March QC1 12th floor u/c & now 17th floor u/c that means they are ahead of their target 7days/floor means they are working at the speed of 3days/floor

and QC2 on 7th floor means now it will work fast as they have completed 5th floor.

Excellent

Thanks for this nice updates
