Seems like they are raring to go but city his holding them back.
Yeah. I donāt know if that is true or not as they seem to be working on it every day since they started. But, maybe if we start seeing some days where nothing is happening ā¦
I think there would be more that one excavator parked over in corner if there was work that could be done. Press released indicate that they need to be working on an accelerated schedule to get building open on their announced opening date. At least if the excavator cound be digging foundation and utility trenches. Iām assuming they will be bringing in a drill for foundation piers, but there will be some foundation beams between the piers in the ground that need trenches. Then could be just a delay in getting equipment and workers lined up
It looks like on the cityās website that most of the outstanding permits were issued today including the building permit. Sheās on her way!
I drove by earlier today and the site was absolutely bustling with activity!
Is there a construction cam for this?
Raleigh is weird like that. I visit Canada all the time and if you know Canada they love skyscrapers/condo tower. Almost all start as massive deep pits. I donāt think Iāve seen that in Raleigh.
This is the first high rise Iāve seen in Raleigh without a pit. I guess if the pilings are deep enough it wonāt matter?
One Glenwood wasnāt much of a pit as well. SmHo too.
The pits I see in Canada are 30+ feet down.
Normally this has to do with how deep the bedrock is. I know in Charlotte they hardly ever go down as the bedrock is just below the surface. I donāt know how deep the bedrock in Raleigh is but this could be a cause.
That also may have something to do with the frost line. You have to have the footers for buildings below the frostline and the farther north you go, the deeper that is. Hence why everyone up north has basements and they are few and far between in modern houses/buildings in the South.
30 feet does sound a bit deep to get below the frost line, but maybe there is another reason for going that deep.

A crane/drilling rig that size isnāt normal, right?
Thatās a lot of torque!!
So many mom jokes just sitting hereā¦
I know why your momās just sitting hereā¦
