Another view (from Rear) of the piling in progress. Note the completed piles along the side wall

There were some 'hard hats' and vehicles on site today, with the gate open.

Work has started on forming up the lift core in the northwest (rear) corner of the site but there is no sign of a crane base yet.

The crane will be located within the core itself, so if they are building the corm work and core base, i'd say a crane base won't be too far off!

Once this gets going it should rise quickly due to the small footprint. Be great to see 87 metres by this time next year.

Does anyone know the construction type? I wonder if it will be slab/beam and concrete or steel frame/precast panels.

Based on what I'm seeing, it looks like the main core is reinforced concrete. The frame supporting the floor slabs could be either reinforced concrete or steel, and given the slender dimensions of the building it will need a fair bit of bracing to comply with wind code requirements!

Crane is going up today, looks like a Favco M380D

Looked like a big job getting it back there.

For Crane picture see under crane counter thread.

One of my mates took this from his office in Westpac House.

Some Plumbing has been installed in the floor of the basement. The site is a bit cramped for space. Picture Sunday 3 May 15

The liff core at 115 King William St has now reach Street level as at 23 may 2015.
