Between that and the napkin drawing you may address me as the "oracle of vista" from now on.

Can't wait to see this mat come together, going to be gnarly if they have two tower cranes going at it full bore. Wonder if the big red Manitowoc will be hanging around for the action too?

The Sinclair (Clark & Division, AKA "Tower of Jewel") had two for a time, right? I guess that makes it a few months. Now, if you are asking about a tower >750 ft. tall with two cranes, I have no idea.

Trump had two cranes as did 300 N. Lasalle.

One Bennett Park will have two cranes.

^McDonalds HQ will also have two tower cranes, probably due to the massive floorplates. I posted a link to an article in the General Developments thread.

Solar, thanks for those pictures. Aparently I was blind or just not paying attention. Can we expect two cranes for One Grant Park as well?

God I miss the city. ^^^ keep the pictures posting whenever you have the chance and thanks to all of you toughing out the cold to get these amazing shots.
When I used to work at NBC I would have had a pretty decent view on top of the roof, once it poked up above upper Wacker of course.

Sort of a general construction question: Aside from the physical forces of gravity, and re-bar, is there a chemical reaction that fuses different 'pours' of concrete together?

Specifically in regards to the foundation columns that have been recently dug out. Clearly the caissons are cured (mostly), and although new rebar will be tied to the existing rebar, will there always be a joint, however minuscule, between the top of the old column pour, and bottom of the new column pour?
