One-week construction time-lapse with 51 closeups: ⒽWeek 43: Structural steel; tunnel temporary roof
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- This week we see lots of structural steel work, a glowing airship passes over the construction site in the night, and then there's the second 3-day closure of the street, and night work, in order to excavate the top six feet of the pedestrian tunnel and install a temporary roof structure so that they can work underneath the street building the tunnel, and we cover that with 3 cameras. (About 4 months from now they are scheduled to open the street back up again and remove the temporary roof structure, which I calculate will be on the weekend between Weeks 62 and 63.) We again see the cool helmet and vest lights worn by the guys directing traffic during the night-time construction, and also how they both add and remove the temporary road markings for the detours (the removal involving 'barbecuing' the street with fire). There's only a small amount of concrete work this week.
In this "Ⓗ series", we're following the construction of a new 12-story hospital that will occupy an entire city block in San Francisco. This is a construction time-lapse at 900x, with 51 "bonus" highlights/closeups scattered throughout at various speeds, compressing the 7-day period from April 20 - 26, 2015 (Week 43) into about 47 minutes.
This week starts out somewhat slowly on Monday due to some screw-ups on my part: I lost the first few pre-dawn hours of Monday because I started the time-lapse camera going Sunday night but forgot to plug in the power, so the battery ran out after a couple of hours. Fortunately I noticed it at 7 am Monday and restarted it. So only lost mostly a few pre-dawn hours. But then a separate mistake on Monday night caused me to accidentally delete all of the closeup footage I shot on Monday - d'oh! Monday was not a good day for me! Don't worry, though, the rest of the week is chock full of 51 closeups all the way through to Sunday night.

Just the material handling alone is an incredible feat!
Thank you awesome job, good man...!!! Great idea Antonie to have insights...!!!
Good to be back and catching up on the action.
Thanks for Your time and effort.
Thumbs up for Antoine too.
David B Thanks for watching -- where did you go? ;) Unfortunately, I discovered later that I misspelled his name -- his name is spelled 'Antwon'. I'll be correcting that in Week 47. We still haven't gotten together yet for that interview, but eventually I hope to.
Had to attend to things apart from the internet and work kept me busy periodically... but watching these videos are great. My other half can have the "reality" television shows I will have these : ) Actually hope to make it to California one day... and more specifically San Francisco.
David B Sometimes it is good to be apart from the internet for a while! (Except while watching my videos of course.) Yep, now that you mention it, these are true "reality" videos. Each UA-cam video has a "category", but the choices are rather limited and lame. They have no choice for "reality", or even "construction", so I usually categorize them as "entertainment"...
Of course except while watching Your videos & cheers for agreeing with my interpretation of real reality : )
Thank You again for Your time & effort.
...Couln't be done better! PRO! +++
snertli Thanks again!
interesting how the world is made so much teamwork
awsome video.... keep up the good work
here if road signs are there stil for detours but detour is over, not needed anymore, and signs are placed also weeks ahead sometimes and stay there for weeks after, a roll of black ducttape comes trough and they make a cross so they dont have to remove signs instantly but to show the detour is done
very good job very nice
Great vid :3

Was Antoine involved in the S series project? Seems like a great guy.
Not as far as I know. Actually, I think he left the construction business long ago.
By the way, I misspelled his name in some of the videos, it is actually Antwon. Corrected it in later videos, but UA-cam doesn't allow videos to be replaced once uploaded, unfortunately.

Can anyone here tell me why metal decking would be beneficial over form and pour?
Using the metal decking is much faster than traditional formwork: as you can see in the video it is quickly laid out, and after pouring, shoring (props) are generally not required, so multiple floors can be poured at one time. Using the metal decking also gives the ironworkers a platform to work on when erecting the frame directly above. In addition, the volume of concrete required for a slab tends to be lower.
+Zachary Subran
Then why do so many buildings tend to use shoring? I think I've seen many more high rises use cast in place versus steel.
+Dennis Rehmann Very true, and my guess is that it's more economical for tall buildings to use formwork because in most cases it can be reused for multiple floors, as opposed to being permanently integrated into the structure like the metal decking. But for smaller structures the expense saved on material may not weigh up well against the speed, convenience and lower labour cost of using metal decking.
+Dennis Rehmann I recently had a chance to ask an expert about this. This expert has nothing at all to do with this project, so he can't speak specifically about this project. However, in general, he said:
Permanent metal decking is an easier solution to combine with the steel frame. Using reinforced concrete construction which would be cast onto normal plywood form-work would be difficult because the structural frame for the building is steel. But the metal decking, which is a permanent form-work, is easily connected to the steel frame so you have a good bond between the slabs and the frame, which is important.
With the metal decking, you can achieve a thinner overall slab thickness compared to the traditional equivalent reinforced concrete construction. This saves on overall height, allows more space for services (wiring and Air Con for example) and also saves on building weight and volume of concrete.
Another really useful aspect of the metal decking is that its easy to install. You just sit it onto the beams, shot fix it to the top of the beams with a shot fixing gun (there are more robust methods of fixing) and straight away you have a safe working platform to walk on.
There are other factors for and against using the metal decking and some could be as simple as an architect liking how the underside looks and therefore making it a feature of the building.
+Hospital Construction
Thank you so much for the time and effort for getting this answered. Most of the work I see around here is cast in place concrete. Therefore, I never would have thought about combining concrete with the steel frame. It makes so much sense now.
+1 on the easier install. I am currently working on a project that requires cast in place concrete for a slab in which townhouses will be sitting on. We have to build the shoring up to about 35' which makes it a lot harder than a typical building. The GC I work for doesn't really do this type of work too often (we have concrete crews but we mainly do footers, slabs, and sidewalks) which makes it that much harder.
