One-week construction time-lapse with closeups: Week 4 of the Ⓢ-series: excavation, tower crane

Week 4 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 February 24 - March 1, 2020, into about 36 minutes.
A full 7 days this week, as there's work every day. There's #excavation and foundation work, as well as work towards getting power to the tower crane. All through the week the #bulldozer makes innumerable round trips filling up trucks with dirt. On Saturday and Sunday, the #towercrane goes up, and I discover that the aim and viewing angle of the base time-lapse camera isn't good enough to get it all in. A quick adhoc adjustment midstream helps, but is still insufficient. We're so close to the site that it is going to be an issue getting the entire tower crane and the site itself into one view, something I'll have to address somehow in the next episode. Eventually, I'll be making a separate video about the tower crane, when I have the time (I have other camera views available for that).

If anyone is interested, I just tried to estimate the grade of the road next to the construction site. I don't have 100% accurate data, but between google earth and other estimates, I estimate a 10% grade for the roads on the left and right of the site. Certainly not the steepest grade in San Francisco, but certainly nothing to sneeze at when making sure everything is truly level. The westernmost wall appears to be approximately 25 feet high (or deep, depending on your perspective.) I suppose these facts are only significant to Floridians like myself where the grade of the ground is typically 0%, lol.

@HospitalConstruction 3 жыл бұрын

The steepness of SF's street is a constant topic of conversation. There are even sites like hillmapper.com that attempt to document them all. According to that site, the street on the left is 10.4% and the street on the right is 9.3%. So, you're pretty darn close, congrats! For comparison, officially according to the bureau of engineering, the steepest is Filbert between Leavenworth and Hyde at 31.5 percent. But unofficially, Bradford Street above Tompkins Avenue has a grade of 41 percent.

@HospitalConstruction 4 жыл бұрын

In some instances, they are required to keep parts of "historic" buildings, mainly facades. But not in this case. Most of the old church was long gone before even the prior building on this site was built, and I don't imagine anyone considered the foundation to be historic. Would have been cool, though, but I doubt the builder would have liked the added problems and expense.

Sir, I have watched nearly every one of your videos and obviously I enjoy them. I have to say the new music just flat out sucks! Having vocals in this kind of video is just unnecessary and kind of dumb. I think it should be just a little background noise and not a distraction. The music in your previous videos the last four years has been perfect! Just my opinion, thanks and keep up the good work

@constructionwatcher5381 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry, I like the new music. I found the old boring and quickly turned it off.

@HospitalConstruction 4 жыл бұрын

I understand what you're saying, and it is indeed something I considered myself, but I eventually decided that, in my opinion, it works fine to sometimes have vocal music. One thing I have learned over the years is that it is impossible to please everyone with the music choices, so I tend to just go with what I like, tempered greatly by what is available with respect to licensing issues (legal and cost). My advice for anyone who doesn't like the music is to turn down the volume and listen to their own favorites. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

why not? I'd think they would need spread footings but I guess not, just a piece of I-beam stuck in the ground and held in place by concrete. So I guess they are expecting friction between the concrete and the ground to supply the strength. In earthquake country I thought they'd need more then this. Maybe the new building isn't going to be very tall.
