Hello H C, another awesome video. A diligent workforce doing a great job. More rebar on the lift shaft and another area prepared to receive it's rebar. Thanks for sharing and to you and the workers on site continue to stay safe 😷.
Thanks, HC, for another great video. I don't know why you needed what looks like an apology for including the march going by the site though. That's part of what's going on around the project.
I wouldn't call it an apology, merely an explanation of why it is there, for those people who inevitably complain it "isn't construction". Throughout the years on this channel, when I've documented the construction projects, I've occasionally included events that happen in plain view nearby and happen to be caught on camera. For example, protests, police action, earthquakes, unusual weather, air show flyovers, people antics, etc. Thanks for your support!
Howdy old-timer... if you've been watching since 2014, we've seen a lot haven't we? Sometimes I think about the old videos and how I could probably do them better now... but I'd never have the time to go back and redo them.
Wow. I've caught up on the videos, but it's six/seven weeks behind. I'm imagining what it must look like now. Amazing work and amazing series. Looking forward to the next one.
Was wondering if the man in blue is the site health and safety person just the outfit but then picking up trip hazards. Having to work on a Saturday the project time frames must be getting behind
acabando de ver do Brasil as 22:26 do dia 11/07/2020 mais uma grande semana de trabalho, no fim belíssima manifestação pacífica pela morte de GEORGE FLOYD, parabéns a todos forte abraço e até a próxima semana.
Amazing work! Great sense oh humour! Just one request: could you please add more professional explanations of what they are doing, what is the purpose of this or that thing, and so on. By the way, you can add a tag VIDEOS FOR CATS for your material. My cat watches it attentively (but he definitely does not understand anything in construction).
I do sometimes add descriptions for certain things that show up for the first time if I know what they are (such as the "pea shooter" in this episode). But, although I have learned a few things watching them over the years, I'm not an expert by any means, and I often don't know exactly what they're doing -- might not know much more than your cat! There are some knowledgeable viewers around here, so sometimes if you ask you can get an answer. There are a lot of specialized niches on RUclips, I'm proud be one of the first in the "Construction videos for cats" niche! I have had a couple construction equipment companies inquire about sponsorships (which I've turned down), but no cat food companies yet!
@@HospitalConstruction You have a great sense of humour. I like your music selection - especially western tune for the concrete "cowboys". I wish you add some scores from Benny Hills, but i am afraid there might be some copyright issues. But there are a lot of young composers who could write music especially for your videos - you are an international star! People from so many countries are following the construction. (by the way, if you don't read Russian, i could tell that the most of comments and questions in Russian are very professional)
Thank you. I realy like your videos. Is the second construction that I follow from you. Is this going to be a Hospital? It looks that they are going to make this all of concret... No steel in this.
Cancun Carpenter, one of the big advantages of reinforced concrete buildings is superior fire resistance. With exposed iron you have to insulate it to protect it from the heat of a fire. Think WTC towers. In a residential setting for seniors and the disabled you want the best fire safety you can design since many of them would have difficulty self evacuating from a multistory building in the event of a fire. These types of buildings have their own set of codes in the NFPA Life Safety Code 101 and they are very strict.
I am curious about the concrete enclosed core. The edge was poured uneven. Some men snapped chalk lines and then used lumber to make for the gap. I can't imagine that is an acceptable solution. It happens around 3:28.
From my guess, I’ve done parking garages. I’m an ironworker. That core is usually one of the last things to go up with the structure. It is probably going to get structural iron then a pour. The lumber is just temporarily covering the hole. I assume much of these levels is for parking considering the lack of structural iron. IW 67 Des Moines IA
the core I see is the elevator shaft. It is heavily loaded with iron and has slip forms inside that get pulled up to pour the next floor. It also has exterior forms that are stored in a rack alongside the road on the left and they get set on wooden shelf boards at the right level for the next pour. It does not matter if the concrete is slightly uneven as the next pour just continues on top of the last to eventually build a solid core tower all the way up to the top floor
Why do they put the rebar columns in upside down? The rebar should have the dog leg at the top, stirrups start 2" from bottom go to top of concrete at what ever spacing then the dog leg kicks in towards the center at top of slab. Next level same, they pick up better with the crane and are easier to set. It's really nice if they supply a smaller stirrup for the top of the dog leg just to hold the bars at the right angle and inside the cage of the next level that sits down on it, but tie wire works to.
the deck that there building does get removed. 20 to 30 days after they poured the concrete or when the concrete reaches full strength. When the deck set up, the beam's are also formed. See the center area down the center of the building, where they have boards laid across that they uses as walk ways. Those are the beams. Also the entire floor is acting as a beam.
FRANK LINDSEY, yep and I was wondering why they were not putting a lot of rebar in those beams but in the coming attractions shot at the end of this weeks video you can see a shot of a lot of post tension cables being strung in the cavities. Very cost effective and a good solution since you’ll never want to cut into or modify those in the future, the only real disadvantage of post tension concrete.
I just realized that huge beam they are forming from the elevator core to the rear of the site is going to be under the north wall of the high-rise part of the building. See the renderings at handelarchitects.com/project/1001-van-ness -- especially the second and third renderings, which show the north side of the project.
Nice blue dress the guy is wearing. Can't say the man doesn't take his safety seriously . Smock, vest, face covering, face shield, hopefully hearing protection, LOL. I have seen high rise buildings built before. Granted it's been a while but never one with so much steel . Is this because of earthquake codes in San Fran? It's almost like the joke where someone puts so much creamer or sugar in their coffee and someone quips "you like a little coffee with your creamer /sugar?" Only in this case it would be, "would you like a little concrete with your steel." Not complaining or criticizing just curious as I'm not an architect or builder so know nothing about high rise building requirements. I know it's not possible to provide a bunch of commentary explaining everything that is going on beyond the minimum provided but I admit there are times when I just wonder what the heck they are doing. Why are some of the outer columns square and some round. What are the little blue things they nail to the plywood? I'd hate to be the poor guys that have to go around marking where they all go, ekk. The list goes on and on. LOL. Sorry curiosity can be a curse at times. I'm not actually asking for answers here, just explaining how I feel sometimes when watching.
Losttoanyreason, the blue man looked to be the site safety inspector. Every major site usually has one both to check that things are being done safely and as legal, contractual, and insurance required inspector. If you are the safety guy, you have to take it to the next level. As for your questions, this is actually a pretty good group of viewers. There are some people with construction experience in the regular community of this channel. They’ll answer mot questions and have in the past. Just go back and read the comments on some of the older videos in this series. You’ll find answers to most of your questions, like why they are using so much rebar, what the blue things are, and other construction related questions.
You know this is in San Francisco? The San Andreas fault and the Hayward fault are each about 10 miles from here, east and west respectively. Either of them could produce a large earthquake, more than a 7.0. When one of them kicks off any high rise buildings with normal construction, normal outside an earthquake zone, will be in serious trouble. The three floor building I worked in in Alameda had 80' piles. They acted like a keel, because there was nothing under the building except sand and mud.
AffordBindEquipment, they are using flexible plastic conduit that comes with the conductors already in the tube. Saves a bunch of time....called smurf tube since the original vendor of the stuff colored them blue. Now they come in every color of the rainbow but white or gray being pretty common in commercial work. Anything not placed in poured concrete will have to be the usual EMT but the plastic works great especially the pre wired stuff.
Thanks, William Wheeler. I didn't realize that the conductors are already in place. That explains why they aren't more concerned about keeping them straight enough to pull through later.
@@Bill_N_ATX thanks for the info! I've been a cabinetmaker for over 45 years and have been on a lot of construction sites but it's always after all this stuff is covered up. Learn something new every day!
@@constructionwatcher5381 I was thinking the same thing! the haphazard way of laying it, I was thinking of some poor electrician having to try to pull wire around all those kinks and curves.
A big response for working within 6’ for Covid-19 is face shields. A lot of companies are buying this type of helmet with the drop down eye protection. This, coupled with the face covering allows us to work. It’s a lot of people up there on that deck. Imagine we all had to maintain six foot!! A lot of general contractors were switching to more of an “arborist” style helmet for the ventilation and chin strap. Especially for high rise work, traditional hard hats have been known to fly away!!
These type hard hats are a lot cooler, safer and easier to wear that the hard hat. Old hablit die hard. You don't need to spend time picking up you hard hat. The Chinstrap keep you helmet on if you take a tumble.
Its new to the construction industry in the US. Its a European style helmet and the data shows it better protects the wearer, specifically in situations where they trip or fall. Trips, slips and falls are the leaders in workplace insurance claims and this style helmet cuts down claims. If you have less historical insurance claims, your insurance is cheaper which makes you more competitive at bidding jobs. The whole industry will eventually have this style hardhat/helmet.
Товарищи Американцы, дайте мне $100, я живу в бедной коррумпированной, захваченной шайкой бандитов из 90-х годов России, денег не хватает даже на продукты что бы нормально семью прокормить, всё уходит на оплату жилья, электричества, бензин и ремонт старой машины. Как же мы все тут вам завидуем.

thank you for the great work you do every week. now sunday morning has become a pleasant habit to watch your videos!
I want to know if we will encounter the man in blue again! What a mysterious person.
probably the foreman's dad...
We man not see him but he’ll be onsite regularly. He’s the site safety inspector. Usually a requirement for legal, contractual, and insurance reasons.
He was a big bastard.
) the man in the blue dress made of plastic he say No! To litter.
Their is no way they are skimping on reinforcing rod ! ...Top quality materials , top quality tools and top quality men ..the recipe for success ..
Great video 👍
Hello H C, another awesome video. A diligent workforce doing a great job. More rebar on the lift shaft and another area prepared to receive it's rebar. Thanks for sharing and to you and the workers on site continue to stay safe 😷.
Drove by this last week. Really cool to see it in person after watching on RUclips
Ty awesome content , I always look forward to seeing these videos on Saturday nights

I am getting more excited as the build goes on, it's part of my life until complete. Keep up the really good work in doing the videos.
Hello friends. Theses workers great. Accuracy to the milimeter. Do you see that？Thanks to the creator
The concept of close up is much better, informative and great!!! Hope to see this consistently
I do enjoy these! Thanks
Ive been watching this channel since the Hotel Demolition, good work and great music, must listen with headphones sometimes !!!
Howdy old-timer... if you've been watching since 2014, we've seen a lot haven't we? Sometimes I think about the old videos and how I could probably do them better now... but I'd never have the time to go back and redo them.
Another amazing video for the best construction channel on RUclips keep up the great work 👌
Why am all of the sudden addicted to watch how it ends🤔🙆🙆🤣
Wow. I've caught up on the videos, but it's six/seven weeks behind. I'm imagining what it must look like now. Amazing work and amazing series. Looking forward to the next one.
Builders all over the world do great jobs.
Who this mysterious man in Blue that was there on Friday.
nashguy207 I’m going with “a safety guy...”
Looks very supervisory... Project manager?
Yep, safety inspector.
Merci Monsieur :-)
Thank you...👍🏻
The doctor has arrived a bit Early !
@7:11 Always fun to detangle a pile of joist iron. Good times...
greetings from austria
The shaking and dancing guy is funny😆
Very very nice ,go on
Was wondering if the man in blue is the site health and safety person just the outfit but then picking up trip hazards. Having to work on a Saturday the project time frames must be getting behind
I felt sure he was a health inspector until he started picking things up.
Money shot at 10:22. LOL at 13:27. Is this is what is meant by humping steel? 29:34.
Are these guys taking lunch at 10:30?
12:00 and seems like no one is taking a lunch break. 🥪🍌🧃

It will be a senior living building.
No steel girders apparently but the whole building is made of steel rebar covered in concrete.

wow both hooks showing not tied off
Show de bola.
Pole danse look better than rebar danse ...
Lol
I don't get how they do the floors. Why they don't use concrete beams instead what they using? I don't get it. Do they take it out after?
Are you talking about the wood
the deck that there building does get removed. 20 to 30 days after they poured the concrete or when the concrete reaches full strength. When the deck set up, the beam's are also formed. See the center area down the center of the building, where they have boards laid across that they uses as walk ways. Those are the beams. Also the entire floor is acting as a beam.
around 25:25 you can see the wooden parts are being removed by the workers

Some music on Friday is the same as the speed timelapse of the hospital!(I'm talking about the very fast timelapse of the hospital)
Would they let you put a camera up on the floor looking down inside the tower crane?
That would be cool
