Small crew was putting the second crane together this evening.

A few pics of the site from today, 11/11/06

That one is probably a better picture of the vue than dynetech

hey, looks like they are getting the boom ready to install on the 2nd crane in that one photo.

This is going up much slower than 55W. Any experts know why?

Although I'm by no means an expert, the reason is fairly simple. If you are comparing this to 55W remember they have a parking component that hasn't really had much work done on it yet. Dynetech is built on 9 floors of parking, each has to be built using stick framing and then gets poured out which is extremely time consuming. Once they hit floor 9 they will switch to table forms which will be built off site, trucked in, and hoisted to the appropriate location (see: The Vue).

Thanks. BTW sounds pretty expert to me.

I walked by today and came away with the same conclusion.

[orlandonative]

Things seemed to have picked up on this one....

It looks like they are using the forms for the "flat" sections of the parking garage and the stick framing for the slanted portions. Does this make sense, or is this my imagination?

[bulldogger]

You can see this poking out on some angles from Lake Eola and by the new year, we should see this clearly from the far side of the lake. It should be visible with one more floor added. I am stoked about this one.

Can this thing go up any slower?

orlandonative,

Pardon the FNG question, but I notice that now most of the form load is being carried by trussing with only special areas being supported with a 'custom' 4x4 bracing scheme. I noticed a four legged tower system over at 55 or Paramount. Do they only have those systems in heights that most floors will be? Seems to go up quicker than 4x4's with what ever those overlap locks are called.

[orlandonative]

I appologize I'm having a difficult time understanding your question. I'm assuming that you are talking about the horizontal tables being used at Dynetech between the first and third floors?

[sunshine]

it just look like a starbucks for me.

[orlandonative]

I'm so new that I don't even know from tables. This picture better illustrates what I think I'm talking about. The corregated decking is I assume a form for the floor to be poured on. It appears to be suported by the truss. Thank you for your time explaining to a newbie.

[JRS1]

while all eyes are going to be of 55W for the next few months, Dynetech is going to sneak up and BAM!, shoot up like O'native says and surprise everybody.

[FLKP]

Thanks for explanation. I know a lot of buildingd use "post-tension" Can you explain that a bit more please
