Great to see so much machinery cracking on with the job. Can't wait for the cranes to be erected!

The Origin site, Manchester..
Wow, those two pics show how quick the likes of the landmark towers flew up. I imagine that it could be another year before we get any pouring of concrete? |

It will be quicker than that. Much quicker. The walls are finished, much of the piling has been done and the site has been cleared for excavation, which is progressing well. I reckon we'll see a foundation raft poured quite soon.

I'm guessing there was a hell of a lot of work sorting out the riverfront there so that the whole thing wouldnt fall to pieces and slide into the river once built.

I don't think we'll see anything rise until this time next year unfortunately. I remember reading the basements are quite deep.

Basement construction wont start until Spring 09. They will take nearly a year. Of course 1 tower could start to rise whilst the basement for tower 2 is finished. So, this time next year we could well start to see something above ground...but not much. |

the presence of the piling machines at least indicates that permanent foundations are going in for the footings of the tower. Its certainly looks like more of an organised construction site that it has for most of the year.
