One-week construction time-lapse with closeups: Week 25 of the Ⓢ-series

[@george8873]

Glad you decided to keep up with them in the current format. I was afraid there wasn't going to be a video this week. I look forward to the videos, even if they are a bit repetitive at times. Anyway, thanks for the effort you put into making these videos available. I enjoy them.

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thank you, I try not to let people down!

[@willamcombs1106]

Another week, another great video. Thank You! 😊

[@HospitalConstruction]

You are welcome!

[@berndfreier3422]

new episode and again a "good morning" from Germany. Thank you for your time and the many interesting pictures. I'm looking forward to new pictures all day ;-).003 And once again my beloved ghost riders on their green horses ;-) I love the music

[@HospitalConstruction]

Danke!

[@constructionwatcher5381]

Thanks once more for a great episode. The closeups of the tensioning process are great. Also the two field trips. The one to lift effort gave some great views of the status of the lower floors as well. And it was great to see the street views. Great work!

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thank you!

[@craigschofield3222]

Thank you for the field trip, enjoyed the music and watching the construction

[@HospitalConstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jcaperik]

Thanks for this week 25, its hard working. Also on saterday the have too work, Greatings from Holland

[@heinrichmakkink4104]

Can't wait till tomorrow (Sunday) for the next one! I just watched Wk25 again. Don't worry that it will become repetitive as time goes on - there is always something we missed or wondered about that we will see or understand next time it comes up. A construction worker with a weak bladder will have to keep his eyes open to see where the Porta-Potties fly to, for when he needs it next! Greetings from New Zealand.

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thanks for the comment, glad to hear you're enjoying the videos!

[@gilron9585]

Thanks for a great video as every week! keep the good work. I liked the new view from first floor.

I'm glad your channel is finally getting the support it deserves. I just checked out the renderings of this building and it looks like it's going to be really nice!

[@BZ1340]

Can you link that. I’d like to see that

[@ckmc01]

Finally get some useful informations from your awesome video. The site located at Van Ness ave andGeary Blvd, Sanfransisco. The builder is WEBCOR BUILDER and Concrete subcontractor is WEBCOR CONCERETE. The device12:37 which a man adopted to check the flatness of concrete is Dipstick 2285 floor profiler according to ASTM E1155 to check the flatness and levelness after cocrete finished.

love the choice of music. right up my street :)

[@jetjock86]

Thank you for providing this wonderful channel! After following for several months, I can really appreciate the quality product your hard work and effort has created. Both informative and entertaining, I now look forward to each weekly release. Don't know what I'll do if I don't get a weekly dose of Hi Ho Cowboy!. Wish you would branch out and create the GigaFactory Construction Network and cover the new Telsa factory in Austin, TX. Would love the detail your timelapse and focus points provide over just drone flybys. Keep up the great work!

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thanks

[@kreissagetv4432]

Hey, I think you're doing really good content. Follow your KZbin channel since the end of March. I'm looking forward to every Sunday when I get up at 9 a.m. that the new video is there. I come from the construction industry myself, more precisely from the carpentry trade. Keep it up. Warm greetings from Germany Hey ich finde du machst richtig guten Content verfolge deinen KZbin-Kanal jetzt seit Ende März freue mich auf jeden Sonntag wenn ich nämlich um 9 Uhr aufstehe dass das neue Video da ist. Komme selber aus der Baubranche genauer aus dem Tischlerhandwerk. Mach weiter so. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Wow this is amazing

[@davidsilvera7436]

@Hospital Construction Friday begins at 40:13 mark not 43:13 mark. :) Loving the videos each week!

[@HospitalConstruction]

You're right! Fixed it.

[@francistordiy223]

Like the background music when this spaceship comes out every video 06:47 HAHAHAHAHA satisfying to watch 😆

[@Smithy67]

Hi Ho Cowboy - Brilliant!!

[@dougchristopher2072]

I think they're getting faster with each floor.

[@firesurfer]

Whole lot less rebar, and concrete.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Much simpler floors. Using post tension instead of a lot of rebar. Not nearly as many floor penetrations etc. Once the floors go to pure residential and no special services, floor drains and such it doesn’t take nearly as long to lay them out.

[@george8873]

It's an illusion... Hospital Construction is just using faster speeds on the time lapse. 😋 Kidding aside, what the other people said in their replies is why it is going faster.

[@francistordiy223]

Finally that view area

[@user990077]

12:34 The power trowels go over the concrete repeatedly as it hardens and finished with a burnished top where the concrete gets darker and reflective.

[@antovador]

with western movie style music.

[@rogerweaver7686]

that crane really sways in the wind.

[@HospitalConstruction]

While the wind can make it sway, most of the movement you're seeing is caused by the weight of the load and the rotation of the top.

[@noaman1976]

At min. 22:00 i liked the view and i am so happy you could secure such a nice close view... Thnx

[@HospitalConstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@billymallon7342]

Going up quick .

[@emadeldinhessain3272]

Super.

[@scottsee5766]

Interesting at 2:27 and 3:17 the silver passthrough tubes are cemented over. Presumably later the relevant trades would have to clear the hole of the concrete covering. i wonder if this is intentional, as it makes it easier/faster for the concrete finishing crew to complete their work.

[@bobhumberston3021]

great job

[@juloedtb1420]

Nice episode, I especially enjoyed the walk around pictures at the end. But I do wonder if you gonna change your viewpoint once the building get too high. They are only on the half way point, 7 more floors to go. Maybe it's possible to get a camera on top of the crane and have a crane drivers view for a week or so.

[@HospitalConstruction]

When the building rises above, we'll be looking inside, or at the exterior going on.

[@pizall1440]

1:50 they are knocking rebar chairs out everywhere.

[@antovador]

I suppose those blue tensor cables are for using less rebar in floors for more durability.

[@eptyr12]

Another great video! I loved the new perspectives, any plans to add a camera on the side building on the right?

[@constructionwatcher5381]

What is that other tower crane a few blocks south, visible at 53:45, working on?

[@HospitalConstruction]

That's a 12-story residential building being built

[@Smithy67]

What happens when the building gets taller? It's a 13 storey building - can you move your camera up higher?

[@HospitalConstruction]

When that happens, we'll be looking across at work inside, and then putting in the exterior walls. Eventually, someday, we'll run out of things to see!

[@DejvmanXsindicate]

​@@HospitalConstruction What kind of facility is located on the floor where cameras are mounted? Thank you for the information.

[@amaw67]

1:43 floor have very few rebars in it. Will that floor holds? Why is that?

[@francistordiy223]

Same,Waiting...

[@constructionwatcher5381]

They are using Post tensioning -- that's what the blue cables are. Google it. Notice they are lower between the columns and high where they go over the rebar near the columns. Like the cables on a suspension bridge.

[@petedriscoll3737]

Work late last week 19:33

[@francistordiy223]

41:42 epic HAHAHAHA

[@fintan3563]

What is all the blue tubing buried in the concrete?

[@HospitalConstruction]

I believe you are referring to the cables used to do "post-tensioning" of the concrete

[@Freexit]

32:11

[@magidmahmoud]

do you have any plans and external shots

[@michasleziak1506]

👍👍👍

[@user990077]

37:25 Sewer gases must of been smelling up the work site or something as they have installed a diaphragm over the opening.

[@HospitalConstruction]

That's to catch construction and other debris so that it doesn't get into the sewer and clog it up.

[@user990077]

@@HospitalConstruction 38:38 On closer inspection I can clearly see spots on the pavement thru the screen. Thanks for info.

[@newsnowfresno6873]

Around the 3:13 mark, during the concrete pour, there are three (electrical?) tilted, sheet metal floor-chase block-outs. I have never seen this done but it looks like they have not been accidentally bent over. Wonder why/what❓

[@docugraf]

if the cables are very thick there might be not enough room for a propper 90° bend. Or it's for sanitary strings ... we have to find out later

[@HospitalConstruction]

I will see if I can get an answer. May take a few days.

[@peteconroy5679]

@むく they don't. They live 1-2 hours away in the central valley

[@nusba]

So what is going inside that square thing? I thought that was the place for elevator

[@constructionwatcher5381]

You mean the concrete tower with the very heavy re-bar? That's for the permanent elevators. What you saw here was placement of an elevator for use during construction only.

[@nusba]

@@constructionwatcher5381 Aah ok, got it thank you!

[@MrTrapichero]

What happen whit the space for the elevator door on those two floor?

[@HospitalConstruction]

On most of the floors, there is just one entry, on the left side, not visible from our vantage point.

[@pedroalvarez9157]

Hello..!! Please could you give me information about the group and the music that you use in the videos of this construction and that of the other video that you only use the same theme in all the videos. I would specifically like to know the group that interprets that theme. I'm following your videos carefully and I'm waiting for the 26th of this new construction. Greetings from the Canary Islands (Tenerife) SPAIN

quite cold for a mid July

[@donschwartz8341]

Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) had a line "The coldest winter I've ever seen, was the summer I spent in San Francisco!"

The famous quote is "“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" supposedly said by Mark Twain, but the consensus is that he never actually said it.

[@lawyuetfu]

How about from week 26 to the end .

[@HospitalConstruction]

They are on the way

[@dustindavis2245]

So the guy measuring the flatness, what happens if the if it isn’t flat?

[@HospitalConstruction]

They tear down the building and start over, of course! Seriously, though, I assume they fix it, but I'll see if I can find out.

[@HospitalConstruction]

Here's the answer: he is checking the concrete before the cables get stressed which can have some effect on the levelness of the floor and this essentially removes the concrete guys liability if the floor isn’t flat after the post tensioning. If the floor isn’t level with this test the concrete guy will either bush (chip the concrete) or float the floor before the floor finish is installed.

[@dustindavis2245]

Hospital Construction thanks so much. Greatly appreciate it.

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

What is the point / benefit of laying the stressing cables in such a haphazard up and down way then stressing them the following day before the concrete has had time to cure ?

[@constructionwatcher5381]

The up and down pattern is not haphazard at all, but very intentional. They are higher when they go over the supports, that is the re-bar near the columns. They are lower in between so they provide upward support in the middle of the span, rather like the cables on a suspension bridge like the Golden Gate Bridge.

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

Rubbish there are no columns anywhere near the four high spots showing at 1-56 , and as i said the concrete will be no where near strong enough for stressing with that up and down pattern ,i dare say if the cables were laid level it would be alright given the equal pressure that would be applied but the up and down placing creates a very different scenario.

[@constructionwatcher5381]

@@jeffreyloftus3617 I'm afraid you are just wrong. There is a column just off the frame to the right in the foreground of this shot. You can see the re-bar structure radiating from that column on the right front of that shot. So the cables running between columns are running left and right. The high spots on the cables that run from front to back are supported by the cables that run from left to right. The principal I was describing apply.

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

There are no column's anywhere near the high cables i pointed out at 1-56 ,

[@constructionwatcher5381]

Sorry, Jeffrey, but that's just not correct. First, look at 1:40 where the yellow box is being drawn around the area of the upcoming closeup. Note the red gas can setting in the large group of blue cables running across the shot left and right. That group of cables runs all the way across the floor, on either side of a row of columns. In particular, note the column to the right of the gas can, which is the second one back in a row running from front to back. You can also see pairs of blue cables running from front to back at intervals, crossing the large groups. Now, advance to about 1:43, where the closeup begins. You can now see the gas can still in the center of the same large group of cables running left and right. You can see the same large group of cables running left and right, along the row of columns, and the pairs of cables running across them running front to back. So the large groups of cables running along the row of columns are acting like beams, supported on each end by a column. The cables dip between columns to provide "lift" to support the weight they carry, just like a beam would. The pairs of cables running cross-ways at intervals are supported by these "beams" and themselves dip in the center between the "beams" to provide "lift" to support the floor between the "beams." To better understand where the column to the right of this shot is, look at the extreme right of that shot, where the large group of cables run off to the right. You can see sticking up from the re-bar several vertical stubs with heads that look like very large nails. Now look at last week's episode, Week 24, at 24::50. This is a different column, but you can see the same pattern of "nails" running out of each side of the column a few feet. They are part of the re-bar structure that transfers the load carried by the large bundles of blue cables to the columns. The same structure is used at each column, and that's what you see in this week's episode at the right side at 1:43. The column itself is just out of the frame to the right a few feet.

[@lauriepocock3066]

why don't they wear longer wellies? don't their boots get full of concrete?

[@HospitalConstruction]

You may notice that sometimes some of them actually tape around the top of their boots, sealing off the top.

[@rockyflintstone1166]

I watched until week 25 until I realised this isn't even a hospital I've been watching, being built. I feel cheated. Might as well see it out now... a difficult, but not impossible, wank.

[@HospitalConstruction]

"Hospital Construction" is the name of the channel, not the name of the video. I've learned almost no one ever reads the descriptions. Sorry if you feel cheated. If you only watch hospitals, then I suggest you either watch the "Ⓗ Series" or else go elsewhere.

[@skatesneakerlover]

OMG, you feel "cheated"? How old are you - 3 months and a day? Perhaps a lot less "wanking" and much more learning and studying and you wouldn't feel so left behind.

Comrades Americans, give me $ 100, I live in a poor, corrupt, captured gang of bandits from the 90s of Russia, there is not enough money even for food to feed a family normally, everything goes to pay for housing, electricity, gasoline and repair of an old car.
