What they used was 80 foot concrete friction piles. I know that when they design these they expect compaction which leads to sinking. Any contractor can tell you that adds weight. Originally this was going to be steel but they switched to reinforced concrete. I've been watching this for a couple years now. I have a brother who is an architect and another an engineer. Archinect will share any updates as soon as they become available. The elevator system is still pending an additional inspection. Hamburger addressed this too, saying that the retrofit will bring the entire system closer together once it is completed in January of next year.

Once the construction eventually does stop he said it will ultimately help mitigate the tilt that has been measured as much as 6 and a half feet in the northwest direction.
He also predicted crucially that the sliding would not get any worse during the project, which is meant to stop the building from being yellow-tagged by the city. Image courtesy Wikimedia Commons user Victorgrigas
#Millennium tower sinking pictures upgrade#
Ron Hamburger is back again as the engineer telling everybody they were essentially fine to occupy and that the building’s shift left has added another half inch since beginning construction on the perimeter pile upgrade late last summer, coupling with the 24-inch tilt on the roof to create an inch-wide gap between the tower’s foundation mat and adjacent building's five-floor underground garage.

The firm in charge of stabilizing the former Handel project testified the 58-story building’s “horizontal movement” in documents that were provided to the city during last year, according to NBC Bay Area.
Now the tower is said to be moving to the east, specifically. San Francisco’s Millennium Tower is on the move once more, this time in an entirely different dimension as the 13-year-old building is sliding while it sinks and tilts. Living an hour away from Central Tokyo by train or car is ideal.It’s doing it (again). I count the suburban prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, and Western Tokyo Prefecture as "Tokyo" and I'd rather live in one of those areas than within the 23 special wards. There are much more beautiful cities in Japan which are a thousand times better than Tokyo! 5Ĭlearly this person hasn’t travelled much globally or even in Japan! Tokyo is the most overrated city in the world! Overpriced, nothing spectacular, copied architecture from other area, overcrowded to the max, impossible to get a decent restaurant reservation on any given Friday, Saturday or even Sunday, lack of 24 hours supermarket, long long lines everywhere, can’t get seats even at Starbucks, trains packed like sardine cans, apartment sizes are super small and super overpriced and the biggest problem is it’s disaster prone with earthquakes and the inevitable Mount Fuji eruption which will send 2 inches of black ash to Tokyo according to Japan Metrology Agency. The only nice looking cities in Japan are the ones with some major historical areas. Rural towns are also very ugly and they look all the same. I would argue that all Japanese cities with the industrial architecture Japan adopted post-war are awfully ugly. At least Tokyo has still some historical places that look much better than the modern developed areas. In terms of architecture it's a mini modern Tokyo, it's also very similar to Chiba. Ugly buildings everywhere, boring parallel streets, chaotic architecture, it's just ugly in most of the city. The weather is horrible in Hokkaido though. Sapporo is a better place to live since it has less people and it's obviously cheaper than Tokyo. Japan modern architecture is just chaos, nothing is done with a coherent vision. It's incredibly that they can build such ugly structure that does not fit whatsoever with the surrounding environment. Yeah another ugly piece of Japan architecture.
