OMG haha. That's embarrassing for them. I hope they fix it...
Dominus means "lord" in Latin.

Thanks for the welcome back guys.

Ground floor should be 100% pour next week

late this afternoon they started putting up scaffolding around the 15th floor, similar to what is at Trump and the Ritz-Carlton...red in colour...

Crane-independent climbing in all weather conditions
As a pioneer in the formwork sector, PERI set the benchmark in self-climbing technology with the development of the ACS. In 1971, climbing formwork was revolutionized when PERI first introduced the PERI KGF 240 climbing bracket. Over 30 years of experience and innovation are behind PERI´s climbing technology. Outstanding innovations in self-climbing technology have made the construction of higher buildings faster, safer and more cost-effective.

The ACS bracket climbs smoothly and evenly on climbing rails using hydraulic pumps. The patented ACS 100 climbing mechanism has a lifting power of 100 kN and raises the unit to the next pour without the need of an intermediate anchor. This mechanism is the heart of the modular climbing system on which all versions are based.

Crane-independent forming, striking and climbing, accelerates work procedures on the construction site and makes them independent from each other. This allows operational speeds to be effectively maintained. PERI ACS can be climbed during all weather conditions.Site personnel are provided with comfortable platforms which ensure safe and efficient working routines as on the ground. The working platforms can be enclosed to provide ideal protection from the weather.
Working platforms can also carry high loads, For example, the storage of reinforcing steel for the next climbing lift. Even the placing boom for the concrete pump can be climbed on the ACS units, if required.
The organized process from lift to lift allows high levels of productivity. The high formwork performance for pylons and multi-storey buildings correspond to the values of an efficiently run construction project on the ground.
 
that red hoarding is pretty eye-catching.....watching this one grow is going to be even more exciting than expected...

btw, there are already several above-grade columns poured and major vertical rebar formed and set in place for the 5th and final tower.....

You mean these as of today?

Does anyone know why they would switch to the ACS?

It's used when you form the slabs with loose material (as opposed to fly tables)...

I think its just safer for weather conditions. The wind plus the small parts used for forming is the reason for the hoarding...

Crappy thing is that everyone other than the operator looses any kind of nice view...

Storing the old forms on top of the lofts?

Try to catch some shots as we pass it, but the driver didn't help to do it.
