If they had centred the tower on the podium would have that allowed for balconies and windows on both the Western and Eastern sides?

No I believe part of the issue was for security to prevent being able to see into the law courts. Perhaps the law courts should have just covered their windows?

From today

Great shots Ben - with regards to your first pic, if you'd taken that picture 15 years ago the only tall buildings you'd have have had would have been the Hilton Hotel and the Wakefield Tower - is that correct? Tells us quite a lot about how much the skyline is changing.

Maybe don't have to go even that far back

In place of the law courts building you'd have the old, similar height SAPOL headquarters. Complete with its antennae which made it look like a random star wars droid.

Good news

Kodo apartment tower cracking caused by installation and is not structural, engineers report says

AN investigation into cracking in concrete columns on a $100 million apartment build has found their installation caused the damage, with engineers clearing the project of any structural issues, the project’s builder says.

Watpac general manager construction Nick Saclley said structural design engineers of the Kodo apartment tower on Angas Street had conducted a “thorough review” of the damage to the columns on level six and “reaffirmed” the surface cracking was not a structural design issue.

“AECOM considers the damage to the columns has occurred due to installation issues at these issues, not due to structural design, and have proposed rectification works accordingly,” he said in a statement.

“These conclusions and rectification works have been supported by independent engineering advice.”

The Advertiser revealed last month that structural work on the Kerry Stokes-backed Kodo building — which will be the city’s tallest apartment building at 103m when finished — had to be stopped after the discovery of cracks and rubble at the base of the columns on the sixth floor.

Watpac installed more than 1000 steel props across to support the weight of 24 completed floors pending the outcome of the engineer’s investigation.

Mr Saclley said in light of the cracking, Watpac’s quality assurance team is inspecting all installed precast concrete elements before restarting structural work on the 30-storey building.

“The inspection process and repair to the two columns is scheduled to be completed this week, allowing structural works to recommence immediately following AECOM sign-off and approval,” he said.

Watpac corporate affairs manager Amanda Campbell said that structural work is expected to restart next week.

“Work has continued with various trades while the investigation has been undertaken and we remain on track for delivering a quality building for our client,” she said.

The Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union raised concerns last week about the progress of the investigation.

He has a great account. I feature him often on my Street Adelaide account. #nopromo

I really do love how this belends in with the law courts. The colour of the balconies actually works well too. Such a shame about that western wall.

For a tower that has another two core rises to go, that's an extraordinarily amount of space they've left.

Ben, how confident are you that it's definitely two climbs left in this?

I know it's not always best to go off social media accounts because these guys are arms length from the developer/builder. But the Kodo fakebook page announced the final rise has taken place.

Please correct me if I'm making a mistake, but were they not just talking about the crane made its final jump, not the building? If you were meaning that Kodo's facebook announced the crane's final raise, then just ignore me. Also, this post marks my first post on the forum!

I think they're talking about the crane yobster.

Yeah you're probably right fellas. Scrolling through fakebook on a ye olde LG 4 inch dumbphone on a train in Bratislava so I'm prone to missing some context on random fakebook posts
