Let me guess; the tower is leaning hard to the left of the plumbing line.
To: lowbridge
Keeping my fingers crossed that this thing continues to tilt until it topples. Sweet!

Funny coincidence that West means viewed from the usual orientation from above that means it is tilting left.
Except:
“At Ancient Aliens we don’t believe in coincidence.”—Giorgio Tsoukalos
and
Gibbs’ Rule #39:
There is no such thing as a coincidence.
First mentioned in “Obsession” on NCIS
(Episode 21, Season 7).

I’ve long said NASCAR embodies the only Left turns problem with modern America.

They should spell Millennium Tower in Italics

I guess they could jack up one side....
How do the sink new pilings under the building?
Are they using a pile driver and short pieces of steel or wood pilings inside the basement?

Plus how do they tie in the foundation to those inside and outside pilings?

The only solution is either an all-gay or all-female engineering team to address this.
To: minnesota_bound
They very well could be. There are drilling machines (and I imagine pile drivers) that can be taken apart and hand carried - down elevators or up mountain trails.
I guess going 5 to 8 feet at a time to 200’ deep is still easier than going to 15,000 feet at 30’ at a time to reach oil.

From my office windows I watched them building that for years, from a hole in the ground to just about complete. I always thought it was something of a vanity project.

Kind of a fitting place for a tower of Babel.

Maybe the City should condemn the building like what happen to many Florida condos.
Feel sorry for those who puchased units in the building.
