Back on topic, I don't understand why Vesey street is only partially removed at NE corner, why they don't removed North portion along WTC1 ?

I believe it is because the subfloor in that area is not complete yet. They will remove more as the subfloor is finished.

I think you can, I think you can...

A telethon would be pretty low brow for a project like this, but I have to admit that if Silverstein needs cash I'd be willing to donate a couple hundred bucks over the next few months just to see this tower through. If enough people around the country would be willing to do the same, then maybe we could bridge the gaps.

Silverstein isn't building or paying for this tower.

Some note's from the PA's quarterly report...
http://www.panynj.gov/wtcprogress/pdf/1Q2009_Report.pdf

...The first quarter began with the full formation of the North pool of the 9/11 Memorial and ended with the contract award for the WTC Transportation Hub steel, which includes twice the amount of steel used for the new Yankee Stadium and came in on budget. In between, the Port Authority secured the first private tenant for One World Trade Center – nearly 200,000 square feet from Vantone Industrial Co., which puts the building at 50% occupancy, including prospective state and federal government tenants.

As the Port Authority looks ahead to the next Quarter, we will continue to be confronted with the challenges of rebuilding on such a complex and crowded site. The Memorial steel erection faces two critical deadlines if we are to continue the momentum generated to date. One World Trade Center faces another crane jump to ensure the building continues rising out of the ground.

Second Quarter 2009 Milestones

Complete North Core Shearwall to B1
Complete placement of reinforcing steel and high strength concrete for the North Core of One World Trade Center to bring it up to the B-1 level – the last level before grade.

South Core Crane Jump
This represents the movement of the southern tower crane from the supports within the South Core to the erection steel above the core. This movement will facilitate continued erection of the southern core. The South Core Crane has already made one previous jump.

Complete First Three Sections of Cutback of the Vesey Street Deck
Removal of these pieces of Vesey Street north of the One World Trade Center site will allow the installation to continue on the remainder of the building’s exterior columns and completion of basement deck construction in that area. This area of Vesey Street is already inside the fenced-off area and will not affect pedestrian movements.

________________


...Vesey Street Pedestrian Bridge Extension: In the first quarter of 2009, the Office developed a concept of extending the Vesey Street pedestrian bridge eastward to land East of Washington Street. The Office has shared this idea with the community and continues to develop it to determine exactly when it would be implemented.

Well, we're witnessing history. I don't want to wait 10 years for the documentary to come out. I want to see everything that's out there now...:yes:

When shall they be starting construction of the Blast walls ?

JSsocal Jun 2, 2009 7:10 PM
^^^They probably won't begin that until the exterior steel is higher up. so probably still a ways away

If that final setback on the backside of Goldman Sachs is turned into a terrace, it's going to provide some killer views of the WTC construction. That's a painfully obvious hint! hint! to all of you ambitious NY photographers out there...

Thanks for the tip! I'm from NJ but I was actually up in the city taking photos. I was all over. I wanted to post some of them on here but I don't know how to.

I doubt it. They don't even want you taking photos of the Goldman while it's under construction! Security will be very heavy.

Does anybody know what the current height of One World Trade Center?

I wouldn't assume it would be open to the public, of course. But for ambitious photogs who know somebody and can sweet talk their way up there, I have at least one beer waiting for them next time I'm in NYC...

One World Trade Center still remains at 105 feet when measured from the steel beams atop the South Core. Everything else is still below street level except the North Core which is at street level and working its way up there.

Well, sooner rather than later, that figure will have to be multiplied by 13.

Not accurate. It's been higher than that for a while now. Search a few pages back.

Actually it hasn't risen since February. I check Earth Cam everyday and there hasn't been any steel added to the South Core for a while now. The crane jump doesn't necessarily count as a height increase. Also the wtc progress site would have reported on a height increase. On Lower Manhattan info it says 140 feet but that is not accurate.

New Outer Steel!
 
In the past few days the outer steel on the N. side has broken the ground level! Haven't see a mention here.

It was mentioned that they were planning to do it, but nobody went out and got any photos.

colemonkee Jun 5, 2009 11:30 PM
The density of the rebar inside the core is pretty damn impressive. This will be one solid tower, as intended of course.

^ What I can see is the metal strat poles are being added to the top of the core and soon the yellow compressors will move up and more concrete will go up.
