The supports for the side of the pit are gone and it looks like maybe they're starting work on the climbing formwork.

Looks like they could soon be pouring the ground floor:

^^No, hadn't seen it. Thanks.

Wish I really understood how they get those big pipes they brace the foundation with out of the hole after they pour floors above them.

Once the concrete floor placed immediately below the shoring system reaches a certain strength, it provides support similar to the system itself, and the walers and struts can be removed prior to placement of the next level of concrete. Notice the difference in photos, posts 142 and 143.

It was really impressive to watch from above. You could see the sparks flying from them cutting through all the supports at the same time.

I've actually read the forums for quite some time, probably since 2012, if not earlier. I just, for the first time, figured I had something that you fellow skyscraper nerds might like to see

^^And you bought a new camera just for us? What I notice, aside from your vantage point, is how sharp and clear the photos are. Impressive.
