Ground Engineer Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have recently bought a 2 bed unit in the south tower. I would like to start a thread to see if there are any other members who have bought here and discuss topics like the progress of the works etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Engineer Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 If there is anyone on the forum that lives close by Northpoint I would appreciate it if you could give me an indication of whether piling has started yet or are they still carrying out the ground investigation.

Assuming the tower is 20m by 10m in plan = 200 square metres then pile spacing is currently 200/72 = 2.8m. Assuming 750mm diameter piles, thats a min pile spacing of 3 x pile diameter = 2.1m. Therefore if they install 95piles this equates to 12 more working days or 2 weeks. THen the same amount of time again on the North tower. Thats for info. Rob.
