I wish to make a correction to my last entry above. They have not started to dig the basement. What they did was systematically dig large holes all over the site to remove any footings from the previous building then fill them in and compact the site so that the Piling rig and other equipment could move about the site. As Ben mentioned there is a piling rig is on site. Could not stop for a picture today.

Having a look at the architectural drawings for this one. We have quoted the height incorrectly at 53m. This does not include the plant room, which actually adds a further 3m to the overall building height. I have thus amended the title of the thread. The building is actually 56m tall.

Went passed today (Monday) and there appears to be a pit for the lift core in the centre of the site. Could not stop for a picture.
