I saw a LOT of steel on the back of some flatbeds lined up along Randolph this morning. It looked way beefier than the stuff going in that's creating the floor plates. Maybe those are what you're talking about.

Does anyone know what the tridents are built up from? Is it all steel plate welded together to create a custom shape? Are they the 36x925 that were used at 150 N. Riverside? I would love to see the piece drawings on those items.

Yes - multiple I beams (big ones) joined together - pics soon.

They are setting the southern trident today. But by the sound of it Harry is already on it

Even from a pretty long view on the webcam, the steel beams are large

Really hard to pick out just a few shots.

Jan 22

note the yellow things, put on the corners of the beam where the lifting cable goes around.

Eyeballing it.

Persuasion

Put a steak in it

Ice on cold steel - this is obviously the top beam.

A skyscraper is a mighty thing, isn’t it?

Sweet shots, Harry -

I think I'll be out there for a bit tomorrow AM. Maybe around 9:30-10:00am. If you see a guy with a camera and a safety-orange parka, it's probably me.

harryc and bvictor, are either of you on Instagram?

vexxed82 · #**1410** Posted **Jan 23, 2019, 6:15 PM**

Welp, I got all bundled up and trudged out to the site only to find it mostly desolate. Oh well, I'll get some lifting action next time. Also, bummed that they made the photo 'window' so narrow on the South end of the site.

Here are a few shots...

Great pic!

BonoboZill4 · #**1412** Posted **Jan 24, 2019, 4:07 AM**

Your pictures are almost making me like the winter, Nick!

melanus · #**1413** Posted **Jan 24, 2019, 4:27 AM**

Nowhere near as good as Nick's but here are some images I got this evening.

PittsburghPA · #**1414** Posted **Jan 24, 2019, 4:52 AM**

Awesome pictures everyone. It's hard to imagine how those connection points are sufficient enough on the trident sections for how large those beams are. It seems like they should be more robust. Especially on the angled pieces.

Abuilder0430 · #**1415** Posted **Jan 24, 2019, 3:52 PM**

It looks like they started early this morning and got another piece of the trident up and erecting beams from the trident into the building...can't wait to see more close-up photos.

commodore · #**1416** Posted **Jan 24, 2019, 3:56 PM**

Went out of my way this morning on the walk to the office. Should be a good show over the next couple of days if the weather holds up!

BonoboZill4 · #**1417** Posted **Jan 25, 2019, 12:34 AM**

This project is ridiculous

I stopped by the site again today. Got a lot of cool stuff, but am having issues with the upload. I'll share as soon as I figure things out.
