I cannot wait to see the new CBD of Moscow in another 5-10 years. It will be very impressive!

Placement of the piles looks almost random.

Sharp looking set of towers. Moscow seems to be making up for lost time.

Does Pentium know that Moscow stole the "Blue Man Group" to build a skyscraper???

colemonkee · #**151** Posted **Mar 15, 2005, 6:19 PM**

Nice! That's some pretty good progress since the last update. It should start to rise pretty quickly now. As for those "Blue Man Group" construction guys, I'd imagine they'd have to be pretty tough to work in that snow. Much tougher than their stage version

Lecom · #**152** Posted **Mar 17, 2005, 2:16 AM**

Yea, remember the last time you shoveled snow? Now imagine if you had to build a skyscraper while shoveling it.

28 march 2005 (foundation slab for tower B will flooded on 2 april)

colemonkee · #**154** Posted **Mar 31, 2005, 6:20 PM**

Starting to take shape! And a tower crane to boot! Coth, do you know if this will be a steal tower or concrete tower once they get above ground?

Fabb · #**155** Posted **Apr 1, 2005, 7:28 PM**

I bet it'll be a concrete tower. Concrete has been more and more widespread since 9.11.

colemonkee · #**156** Posted **Apr 1, 2005, 8:44 PM**

I've noticed that too. I wonder if it's due to the rising cost of steel or improvements in concrete and the pumping technology. In any case, concrete is quickly becoming the new black

coth · #**157** Posted **Apr 4, 2005, 4:47 PM**

i think concrete.

well. 39 hours operation of flooding of foundation slab for tower B completed yesterday.

here is some official photos

coth · #**158** Posted **Apr 18, 2005, 9:36 AM**

some known plans.

The core of tower B begin to rise on 20 april and will reach 5th floor to the end of june (8 floors - from -4 to +4).
Works on pile's field of tower A (340m) begin in may.

Fabb · #**159** Posted **Apr 18, 2005, 10:30 AM**

Good to know.
The construction pictures are about to be very interesting.

nezzybaby · #**160** Posted **Apr 18, 2005, 3:39 PM**

things are built out of concrete more than steel because it is more fire proof, if the WTC had a concrete core, they would not have collapsed on 9/11.
