Chicago’s Trump Tower Construction Begins

The construction started with placing 4,600 yards of self-consolidating concrete in a 198 ft x 60 ft rectangle that will support the 92 story tower at the center of the development. Thirty trucks and two shifts of drivers worked continuously to deliver over 500 loads of concrete from Prairie’s Yard 32 on Chicago Avenue.

Quote: “The building will require 180,000 cubic yards of concrete and 25,000 tons of reinforced steel by the time it’s finished and will take $130 million of the estimated $600 million construction budget.”
