I have spies in high places so I well probably hear about any changes soon after they are made.

Good. I'll repost these here...

Yes, there is going to be a permanent crane on the roof for servicing all the equipment.

"106th floor", cooling tower catwalks.

Wow, you can even see 7WTC's entirety in that picture.

It almost looks like they're putting down roadbed on Fulton Street

Great information guys , thanks!

By the way, if 1,402 feet is the official height of the highest floors shouldn't that count as the official roof height? It definitely should, and even if not oficialy that should be counted as it's roof height by everyone any way since this tower will look at least 1400 feet to the roof and nearly 1800 to the spire (a very thick spire i might add)

I just can't imagine how much of a beast this will be when finished

BStyles · #**6125** Posted **Oct 6, 2009, 1:35 PM**

Well, the roof height is supposed fo be 1362' and the top of the parapet is 1368' to commemorate the original heights of the Twin Towers, so this tower is all about symbolism. If not, then yes, the tower would have been taller.

One side of the towe's columns are already placed, I can't imagine what it will look like when the lobby is squared out.

From all indications, it looks to be sooner rather than later.

I am glad to see the supports and beams above the super supports. I was afraid that nothing would go up until everything is leveled, like the other side has the large red supports.

I love Goldman Sachs New World HQ. It just blends so perfect with WFC that it looks like it was part of it. So does anyone know when big red will be up and running? Or when they will start putting up more perimeter columns?

You've asked this question just four days ago. The columns will go up soon.

Blah blah, cross post, blah...

bkraig4life · #**6133** Posted **Oct 7, 2009, 11:03 AM**

What importance do the 12 white markers on the large cross beem have?

Zensteeldude · #**6134** Posted **Oct 7, 2009, 1:27 PM**

That's just white protective film covering stainless steel anchor brackets.

RoldanTTLB · #**6135** Posted **Oct 7, 2009, 2:00 PM**

Did someone say that 1WTC will get taller if they install more perimeter steel? How strange...

The morrongiello October 7 picture is identical to the last pixel as the October 5 picture.

Zapatan · #**6138** Posted **Oct 8, 2009, 4:15 AM**

I'm sure this has been posted before but this is a really cool diagram,
I guess this is newer because when you count the floors of offices you reach the 90th not the 88th,
but I still got one question, I thought each floor was exactly 14 feet, which would mean if the tower base was 186 feet,
the bottom slab of the 88th floor 68 floors above the base would be 1138 feet,
and we see here that the 90th floor is actually 1138 feet [when measured 1 pixel per meter on photoshop or paint] and the very top
of the offices are 1150 feet but the 89th floor is extra large too which leaves the 88th floor somewhere around 1,105'

so how big exactly are the main office floors? I know I'm being a stickler but I was just curious.

The observatory and restaurant floors are also from 1,245' to 1,285' which is great! Kind of a shame there isn't one on the roof though..
