And the retrofit work will be focused on the leaning (downhill) side. And it takes a lot of time, which they don't have. Even drilling can cause a lot of vibration, depending. I would not touch that project for any amount of $$$.ĮTA: the new 250'-deep piles will obviously not be driven, they will be drilled. There will need to be a hold-harmless clause in the contract, and even then there's a boatload of liability for all involved.Ĭan you imagine evacuating the other buildings within the estimated collapse zone, or what could result if they don't? $$$$$$$$$$ Getting a good contractor on board will be difficult. But, none of this addresses the existing lean it just prevents further lean. The problem is doing all that without exacerbating the lean, or causing a collapse altogether. Then, install a grade beam that attaches the existing mat foundation to the pile caps. The water pressure level was recorded at various depths more than 100 feet below the structure, where a layer of clay resides. At the same time, there was marked fluctuation of water pressure below the foundation on the Mission Street side of the structure. 19 – shows a quarter inch of new tilt, as well as a tenth of an inch of settlement at the time the test installation occurred. The latest data – including the four days that the test pile was installed from Nov. Since work began to shore the sinking structure up on the north and west sides, the building has settled nearly 2 inches at the northwest corner and is now tilting more than two feet at that edge. The monitoring data tracks settlement, tilting and water pressure levels underneath the sinking and leaning structure since work began on a fix for the troubled tower in May. Newly released monitoring data shows that San Francisco’s Millennium Tower tilted a quarter inch during the four days it took to install the first test pile to bedrock last month. Among many expenses, we still owe for our geologist’s work.SF Millennium Tower Tilts Quarter Inch in Four Days Thank you for considering making a year-end donation. (Hope springs eternal.)

We were then followed by national media, including CNN, making the same comparison. We were the first to link that disaster with Millennium Partners’ San Francisco slow-motion collapse. history: the Champlain Towers condo collapse. We are reminded by yesterday’s Wall Street Journal about one of the deadliest building failures in U.S. Given the history of the Hollywood Center project, and developer Millennium Partners’ notorious leaning tower project in San Francisco, it would not be the first, or probably the last, cover up. We surmise that the silence is a cover up. We do not have an update on the soil age dating results from the trenching earlier this year. Together we have - so far - kept our community safer, slowed down LA City Hall’s law breaking, and shined a bright light on Hollywood Center, a proposed skyscraper project on top of an earthquake fault that is symptomatic of everything sick in the body politic of Los Angeles.
