^ I forget the revised ETA for topping this off, but it seems feasible to do it before month's end. The structure of the lantern suggests that it will go up very quickly. I'm guessing they need to get the HVAC equipment in before they go too far, however.

strange, earlier there was actually a beam connecting those two columns on the lantern & it looks like they removed it. Wonder if they cracked it

Maybe just some sort of strut.

I'm wondering why we don't see any actual cooling towers in there yet. I would think they would insert them as they build up the steel surrounding them. Is there anything in the bottom section of this mechanical room currently?

Not sure but I think cooling towers are modular these days...

Do they have to pour the concrete for the cooling platforms, or install a pre-fab set? When I looked at one of the pictures the other day it seemed like there was just an open grid of steel.
