Awesome! Recall that site very well from my many visits to Oklahoma City. Thanks for the update

Love this tower and so happy it's finally getting built - will this thread move to 'Under Construction' or is that after it reaches grade?

Once demolition is finished and they start on the pilings then it'll be U/C.

They're saying we should see actual structural rise on the tower by early in 2010, but before the year is over we'll get to watch some vertical action on the 5-story parking garage that they are expanding to 10 stories.

Do you think having the underground parking garage existing at the site will kind of help make the excavation process go faster?

Not bad for 48 hours of demolition on two rainy, stormy days

Another wow at the end of Day 2

Are there any renders showing what this building will look like in the skyline from afar?

The advantages of having a fortune 500 company.

I'm guessing they've made really good headway on that parking lot since those last pics were posted.

Hopefully they work something with OxBlue and setup a webcam.

shouldn't this thread be in the 'highrise construction' area?

I mean, isn't site prep part of construction. ...?

I think it has to actually be in construction. This is probably based off of many projects have site prep done, but never being constructed.

Scottolini · #**218** Posted **Oct 29, 2009, 12:09 AM**

Site preparation or merely just digging the foundation doesn't count as contruction starting, since digging a hole is just that, digging a hole. And plus any construction taking place within a foundation that pertains only to the excavation doesn't count either, since that's not construction for the actual building itself.

* Foundation work includes the implementation of permanent foundation components such as the drilling of caissons, etc.

* Top down construction involving piling doesn't require a foundation to have been dug for a building to be considered under construction.

A tall building is considered to be ‘under construction’ when site clearing has been completed and foundation / piling work has begun.
