A snap from the webcam, you can make them out on the viaduct

I managed to peer up the viaduct over the weekend (through the hoarding).

It's huge. Higher than the Queensway!

thats the funny thing with the viaduct, its a major building project in its own right yet as it is being done in conjunction with all this, then it is sort of over shadowed. if this was done by itelf as part of the construction for the metro, we'd be going mental over it!

The roof of snow hill, and the whole of snow hill in fact looks terrible in that photo

Erebus555 · March 26th, 2008, 07:16 PM

That's no roof, that's a car park!

Thanks for the update feltip - i have been itching to see the latest progress

so is the blue metal framework that has been put around the steel to keep the concrete in place whilst it sets? how will they continue this all the way up the tower?

Flogging Molly · March 27th, 2008, 06:25 PM

Substructure A ok.

Erebus555 · March 27th, 2008, 08:39 PM

It's all very blue on site! Just when we though no construction site could get prettier than the Cube's, here came Snowhill 3!

Thanks for the pics!

Nacho · March 27th, 2008, 09:17 PM

Thanks for the excellent updates feltip .

Bulldozer · March 27th, 2008, 10:16 PM

for update feltip.

Locks like PCH have bought a new meccano set for the job,

Wonder if they are slipforming it all in one ? with just the isolated columns separate.

SimonTheSoundMan · March 27th, 2008, 10:28 PM

Question, is it official the core has started to rise as rebar is in place for the first casting?

flying tackle · March 30th, 2008, 08:02 PM

It is where the core for the lifts in the Hotel building is going to be.

That bloke is going to be digging it all by himself as well by the looks of it.

mjw · March 31st, 2008, 05:11 PM

so when will we see a real core begin to rise for this project? Snowhill is beginning to really excite me now.
