"The last photo shows the CMA Tower raft foundation preparation. The contractor has placed concrete for the bottom and sides to create a neat level and plumb surface to construct the raft foundation for the tower on. Even though this building is not part of our scope of work here, I was able to meet with the designers on another mater and got a close look at the foundation and the building. The foundation has three distinct locations where there will be super columns. These areas of the raft foundation are designed to support the huge columns independently. If you look at the photo you will see the locations at 1/3 the distance around the foundation area, one directly in front of me, the others to the left and right. The columns will measure 3 meters wide by 3.6 meters thick. Pretty big. There is an excellent discussion about the design of the building on engineer Walter P Moore’s site. There is also discussion about the Samba Tower on the site as well. The Samba Tower will be in the Financial Plaza near the CMA and is being constructed by El-Seif."
:lol: All this happened way back in the summer.
