Not the best pictures - was in a rush - crane going up on Saturday.

Boo lane closures. Hurray for spidery concrete pour!

Handheld shot after dark from this evening that turned out surprisingly crisp:

So the tower on the left spits out concrete I take it, but how is the concrete supplied?

In the shot immediately above your post @WillTo, the concrete pump is on the right. Somewhere unseen in the photos, there's a pipe that leads to the spot, street side, where concrete trucks pull up to unload.

If I may be permitted a minor clarification - the components seen in the picture are the distribution boom assembly and associated riser piping. The actual concrete pump itself would be in the street side equipment piece, along with the hopper into which the concrete trucks unload.

Not the greatest shot but from over the fence I can see the building reaching ground level.

If anyone's in the area this weekend, please shoot this again: we've got to be above ground now, right?!

I'll be close by, but I got doubts I can go to this area anytime today.
