Week 12 in the ongoing Ⓢ series, which follows the construction of a new 13-story senior living building in San Francisco. This is a #construction #timelapse with various closeups and "sub-time-lapses" at various speeds, condensing the week of April 20 - 25, 2020, into about 54 minutes.
This episode turned out a little longer than I was expecting, setting a new record for the longest video of this "Ⓢ series". Perhaps I should have shortened things a little more, oh well. There are a lot of long, wide shots in this episode.
We see multiple H's being installed - we know that this channel's logo will be embedded in that building forever! All around the elevator shaft, which might possibly be more than just an elevator shaft, I'm guessing there might be a structural component to it as well due to the amount of rebar and columns around it.
More columns go up (both rebar placement and concrete pumping), and we see the start of the journey upwards as the #shoring for the next floor up from ground level is started on. On Tuesday, the front of the two concrete pumping towers (high rise pumps) gets its top (boom) and is actually used to pump #concrete for the first time. There's a small concrete pour of what looks like the start of a skateboard park, but I assume is actually going to be a ramp down to the lower parking level.
The street is being cut up, although that may not be directly related to this building, it may be part of a separate "Bus Rapid Transit" project that is going on, or could be a combination of both projects, I don't know.
In an unfortunate sign of the times, we see the check-in procedures that the workers go through these days, including having their temperature checked and verifying that they have a face mask. They get a wrist band and are allowed entry if they pass. Although, just as I see out in the general public, I do notice some wearing their masks incorrectly (inexplicably covering their mouth but not their nose, or only covering their chin) and a few not wearing any mask at all - same sorts of things I see anywhere else.
We usually just skip past the nighttime hours in these videos, but this time we watch the security guard making his rounds in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, and on Friday morning at 2 am we notice someone abandon a nice little cart in the alley for some reason, that gets snatched up on Friday.
And various other activities scattered all throughout the episode. Hope you find it entertaining!
