May 29th 2004, from the Oriental Pearl.

Don't get too excited, very bad pic, dark and hazy weather you'll have to force contrast to be able to view something.

I'm not sure about what I see. Are they digging a cylindrical hole? Since last pic from the Oriental Pearl was on the 4th of april, many changes might have occurred. But this seems unusual in Lujiazui, I never saw this type of foundations there. Tell me what do you see/think.

It seems to be a low depth circular hole. Before the foundation was, as I remember, a rectangular hole filled with water. Not sure what they are doing...

I believe they are building a circular underground wall in order to build the foundation. This seems to be similar to US7 in HK, which is rectangle at the building base but the hole is also circular.

... for a mere extra 30 m ?
Or because of the sinking problem ?

That's right.
A big circular hole and eight super-columns that remained unchanged for over six months.

Fabb, do you think the overcost is due to these complementary foundation works, because of the discovering of Shanghai ground resiliance?

Well at least, something spectacular is now happening on the plot! I only wish more people who climb up the Oriental Pearl turn their camera to the yard.

Don't you think that it might be a possibility ?
And it might explain the delays, too.

avcellvs... that wind tunnel model of Jin Mao is cool in person. It has about 2,000 or so tiny holes that funnel the wind into the center where it is measured. You can see them: all the little copper looking tubes.

Yes this sounds like a credible hypothesis. I rode the metro line particularily suffered from the ground resiliance problem in Lujiazui (in Puxi, an old house collapsed...). As the line passes under Century Avenue, very close to the WFC and the JinMao, a very special care may be needed. Hence these complementary works? Is there any new technique that allows to solve this question?

June 13th 2004, nice weather, rare view from the HSBC Tower.

Well, not any view on the WFC plot for two mounths then one per day!. Do enjoy this happy coincidence! It may well not last long....

It is a bit disappointing, the whole circular hole has not been dug , just half of it! . Does that mean we'll have to wait two more mounths before we see the building rise?

Seems like it will be built eventually, though it is very very slow progress. From empty land now to this.

But it depends on what happen on Mori company I think, and in the minds of Mori's executives.
