Friday, September 30, 2011 16:45/4:45 PM The "Battle of the Bulge"... and it looks like the "bulge" is on it's last leg against the digging machines! Poor bulge...resitance was futile! The digging machines escape route out of the construction pit is located just behind the remnant of the "bulge". That's where the entrance/exit to the underground garage is located. The previous image in the "bulge" series was photographed on September 23 and is located at - http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2251449 This photo and today's post give a pretty good idea of the progress and speed of the digging and the laying of the reinforced concrete foundations. In a few more days the foundation work will be completed. The blue latice work tower in the background is a tall crane erected yesterday and today for the construction of the garage and buildings to be erected above it. Another such crane will be erected to the right in the foreground. The crane is spanking new - I wonder if it was made specially for this project. I'll have to check with some construction worker. It was rather hair-raising watching the workers balancing on parts of the crane high in the air as they assembled it part by part. It's a LONG way down! I'll post a photo of it tomorrow. Enjoy! (The poor bulge certainly isn't!) :)
