Extraordinary successful collar collaboration with the San Francisco Planning Department staff and so the design that you are going to be seeing i would characterize as the result of a very, very healthy collaboration with staff and we are quite proud of it. So i just need this here. And this is an image, several images that you are going to be familiar with. It simply puts the towering context and this is clearly one of the most important building complexes and we do see the Transit Center and the tower. And with the center with the roof, top, park and with all of its services and amendies, adjacent to it, is the large tower. The tower of course is a key participant in the financial district of San Francisco and we think that it represents the best thinking in the United States about transitbased development. The transit city tower is on mission street. It is address will be 101 first. And i will show you in a few minutes how that is going to be worked out. It is just north of the Tra
Transit center itself and we are very, very careful about the interaction of the two buildings structurally, one with the other. The elevator core is also part of the structural system. It is four feet thick, at the lowest level and tapered in size of the tower and goes up and so it allows an enormous amount of stability to the towers structure. And in a building this tall, it is very interesting, obviously seismic design is critical but at this height of 1070, it is really wind that one has to design for primarily over seismic, if you design for wind, appropriately you have designed to seismic. That is the key to the very robust central core that has a concrete box surrounding it. You see the three exit stairs and you see the great number of elevator and this happens to be one of the lowest floors and that is the low, rise, elevator core that is colored in. This is the mid point of the tower and this is about a 20,000 foot square plate and then the top plate of the tower, 18,500 squar
Completing. And right on track, is a weekly update here on the production of the shafts and you can see that we were behind the curve in the beginning with just the learning curve of putting the shafts in but we are caught up and projecting a finish on time. But, it is a quality control, remains in effect on the butress there is coring for checking the structure and that is just the general shot of put ng a rebar cage and the awss work. Is the only utility work going on now and as you know we had a little extra activity around halloween and i thought that i would show the photos of the world series, and we are very proud of the giants and some of the players are basically right outside of the job. The budget remains consistent, with the budget, on the construction size. And with the release packages to date. As i said before, a little over 550 craft hours completed and running over 60 percent on the Small Business or local labor, i am sorry the bay area labor. And here is the break dow
Good morning, directors. Steve, ru, with turner construction, construction oversight. I dont know. Is that up . There it is. Another good month, of work or almost a month and a half since we filled you in on the last period. There were no recordable incidents. We did have one near miss. But, brought to light some issues with the excavation process of sight lines and so that has been dealt with successfully. And allowing the excavator to work while the folks down below were able to position themselves appropriately so they are not in the way of it. We have 550,000 craft hours now, about 60,000 since the last update. 157, chefs, and i will show you the chart for that in a little bit and the excavation continues into zone three, and 1, 2, 3. Some of the other activities, have been awarded and submitals have begun. And the final utility, relocation package 4. 2, the aux silry package is under way and we will work through the holidays on Mission Street and will continue on early into 2013 a
