From the article:

...Ron Hamburger, the fix designer, recently assured city officials that the settlement that has occurred during testing of new methods designed to limit sinking is within expected levels. Hamburger now has city permission to install two more test piles.

Does each installed test pile increase the lean by 1/4 inch? If so, here's another 1/2 inch.

What a bunch of dodos.

IIRC from other reading, and that is questionable, it is their professional opinion, over time the opposite side on the original friction piles will settle enough right the building.

Also, they changed the procedure for the newst piles.

Perhaps it would have been easier to build the proper foundation BEFORE they built the building, instead of after.
