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

Taken on weekend - the lift core at street level

Have all the basement pours been done ?

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

Here's some photos provided by a friend who got to do a site walk earlier this week.
The basement pours are all completed, They have nearly poured all of L00 slab except to the North West corner at the street level

Looking from North Tce level down into the bunker against SAHMRI. You can really see how thick those walls are. What would the giant brace be for in the bottom right of the picture?
Solid steel in the Bunker wall Looking back up at North Tce. This is from L00 and the precast one side of the formwork to the patient room bunkers

Here are a few more
Another shot of the giant bracing Looking back inside the wall to the Southern corner where the braces are and alot of pipes. Inside a wall and at the precast bracing holding it together until the concrete is poured.

Those big red braces are temporary propping to the site retaining walls to ensure their stability until the building's floor slabs are completed and take over that role.

From last night - finally coming out of the ground after 2 years

Taken a couple of days ago - the 'first' floor is being poured (ie the upper basement floor). Can't really see whats happening at the back around the bunker anymore, but I think the bunkers concrete shell is now mostly complete.

After 2 years working on the site the SAHMRI is finally coming out of the ground - looks to have been a complex job and hopefully the remaining floors will move faster from now.

couple more from today

Taking a long time for the next core rise and to get the floors to ground level. Must be a pretty complex basement area to construct.

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

I can't be too sure but I think it's the way the camera is held that is making the building look sideways.

The floor for the 'upper' basement level is pretty much done, and a second lift box is now going up. Everyone seemed to take about 3 weeks off around Easter, so that might explain the slowdown. Will the synchrotron be getting dropped into the bunker soon I wonder?
