It has! The plaza is almost exactly the same except for canopies over the garden beds. The plaza is/has been built? Photos make it look as if there isn't any room for that plaza. In photos posted it looks like SAHMRI 2 takes up a larger footprint of that area then in the render. Yeah its all nearly...

Apparently there will be strong winds over the weekend - so good luck with that.

Looks like they nailed it!

They were using the best crane company in SA this time though

They're having another crack at removing the tower crane this weekend I hear.

Is this actually curved glass, or just has the effect of curved glass?

All flat panels, just gives the impression of curved glass

Yes the service trades and some fitout trades have started, increasing site numbers rapidly.
The building will progress much quicker now the complexities of the first three floors are now complete

Probably doesn't help that they're building it sideways

No the bunker still has to come up to ground level.

See the jumpform has completed its first jump. And it looks like a second concrete pump is being installed today

The second crane was due to be completed last week (22-23/1/2022) but was called off due to bad weather. then nothing was done this week end (29-30/1/2022) so may be next weekend

Actually the crane that was being used to assemble the tower had a breakdown

See that the satellite pump is in, and the first lot of columns have been poured. The slabs look to be at least 1m thick too!

There is going to be 2 cranes. In Listys photos you can see the location for the second.
Also the jib isnt bowing in the middle, its set that way for when it lifts (pre camber) a heavy load it will straighten a bit, very normal.

That's the counterweight jib mate

A friend of mine will be working there soon.
He got inducted recently. Apparently the remediation was completed in April nearly 5 months ahead of schedule!

I think they found issues they weren't expecting

Really? What makes you say that citywatcher?

Look now mate. They filled one in and are starting again in another spot. I can just see it from the gate on George St. Sounds like a lot of rock I can see they've scraped out a pretty neat square about 5x5m & ~1m deep. Putting in another sewage sump or something maybe? They have already filled...
