Millennium Tower fix engineers have scrapped an elaborate strategy designed to prevent more tilting at the troubled high-rise as they push to complete the project – a shift in strategy that critics say amounts to gambling, but monitoring data suggests is paying off so far.

Back in June, after the building tilted nearly three more inches to the west toward Fremont Street in a matter of months...

OK. That’s not good. It was tilting at the rate of 3 inches per year. The total tilt is now over 2 *feet*. It’s enough tilt that some plumbing lines in the building no longer properly drain due to lack of slope.

When a home seller lists a property, they generally fill out a property condition disclosure...which usually includes local detrimental elements that would negatively IMPACT😎 the home’s safety and value. I wonder if the seller is required to disclose that they are in the path of a 58-story building that may fall on them?
LOL....yeah. Nice house but it might get squished someday.
The YouTube bricklayer contest videos are fun to watch. Those guys are surgical.
The area is also reclaimed land. It was once part of the bay.

Someone in the know text to Trump
He will get a laugh at the Pelosi dims at the next rally
No wonder Pelosi wants to be ambassador in Italy.
And has a residence in Florida.
Out of sight...out of mind...(no pun intended)
Just south of SF is Crystal Springs reservoir, a man-made lake with a 100 year old concrete dam holding it back.
The San Andreas fault runs right down the middle of the lake.
I seem to recall that the Transit Center has not opened....as has a similar problem....anyone know the update on Transit Center....?
I have a strong feeling this won’t end well…
Lol!
Nope, that is an evil way to try to solve problems.
The fix engineer, Ron Hamburger, has admitted that his team didn’t guide the contractor they hired, Shimmick Construction, on how to stop the tower from sinking and titling as they drilled and dug into the ground.
This reads like it's some kind of parody. Has it been dubbed the Leaning Tower of Pelosi? Nothing a little Botox can't freeze into position.
Tear it Down !
The second phase (Underground) of the Center has not yet been fully funded or started.
Now they say helpful hardware folks.
They gots woked................
Its tilting toward Salesforce tower.
You have to wonder about the sheer weight of a few dozen skyscrapers point loading a seismic hot spot.
The cracks in the steel beams in the Transit Center resulted from a skipped step in the installation welding procedure, NOT from the manufacture or quality of steel.
This skipped step (by the construction crew) on the jobsite was repeatedly undetected by SF Building Inspectors.
Hope this clears thing up.
