Who knows what they did to examine the clay. Over time the weight caused water to be squeezed out of the clay. The problem is the soil which they call Old Bay Clay. That sounds like plenty with room for comfort. What they used was 80 foot concrete friction piles. I know that when they design these they expect compaction which leads to sinking. Any contractor can tell you that adds weight. Originally this was going to be steel but they switched to reinforced concrete. I've been watching this for a couple years now. I have a brother who is an architect and another an engineer. Archinect will share any updates as soon as they become available. The elevator system is still pending an additional inspection. Hamburger addressed this too, saying that the retrofit will bring the entire system closer together once it is completed in January of next year.

Once the construction eventually does stop he said it will ultimately help mitigate the tilt that has been measured as much as 6 and a half feet in the northwest direction. He also predicted crucially that the sliding would not get any worse during the project, which is meant to stop the building from being yellow-tagged by the city.

#Tilting skyscraper chicago upgrade#
Ron Hamburger is back again as the engineer telling everybody they were essentially fine to occupy and that the building’s shift left has added another half inch since beginning construction on the perimeter pile upgrade late last summer, coupling with the 24-inch tilt on the roof to create an inch-wide gap between the tower’s foundation mat and adjacent building's five-floor underground garage.

The firm in charge of stabilizing the former Handel project testified the 58-story building’s “horizontal movement” in documents that were provided to the city during last year, according to NBC Bay Area. Now the tower is said to be moving to the east, specifically.
San Francisco’s Millennium Tower is on the move once more, this time in an entirely different dimension as the 13-year-old building is sliding while it sinks and tilts.
