I park in the cityscape parking lot, and I can look into the site all day at work!!

HA-HA.

you mean you have another job outside of being a hostess? :haha: :P

I would assume that covers everything on the PSP block itself.

PD, props for that observation on the west side of the hole, etc. :tup:

^ Holy cow. She's getting up there. :)

A quick look into the CityScape hole from tonight:

PHX PD
Thanks for the picture! I am curious about two things. It looks like they have covered the cement pad with dirt. I thought the pad would be the "basement floor". Will they pour another "floor"?
Does anyone know what they are doing on all the scaffolding around the sides? It seems quite labor intensive.

The scaffolding is to cement the interior of the parking garage. Couldn't really have all of those rebar poles sticking into the garage, the ones injected into the walls to secure the walls themselves.

LOL! You can blame the Teleprompter!:lmao:

After a rain like tonight what (if anything) happens in the cityscape hole. I would assume there is many puddles... are there any delays or do they go on like nothing ever happened?

The crane continued to work while it was raining so...

They just pump out the excess water using sump pumps into the city storm drain.

thanks

There have not been any new photos in over a week. Can any of you shutter bugs get us our photo "fix"?

Yeah, I've been neglecting CityScape in favor of Central Park East. Still a big hole in the ground:

PHX PD,
Thanks! You are right, still a big hole (still with lots of dirt). It will be quite awhile before this gets above ground.

does anyone know why they covered the cement floor with dirt?

It's a heck of a lot cheaper than concrete. The project's structural engineers said that you need a foundation (a "mat," I believe) at a certain depth to support a building at a certain height. The bottom of the floor of the garage only needs to be a certain depth, so they fill in dirt in between.

AND NOW THERE IS A NICE CEMENT FLOOR OVER MOST OF THE DIRT. oops, sorry about caps.
