„ To form the foundation of the 72-story tower, a caravan of over 250 concrete trucks delivering every 2 minutes over a 12-hour period delivered 9 million pounds of concrete. Over 2,300 cubic yards, or 470,000 gallons, of concrete was placed on-site. The volume is equivalent to filling an Olympic size swimming pool or a 9-mile-long sidewalk. Approximately 622,000 pounds of reinforcing steel, equivalent to about 155 automobiles, was placed on-site over the past two weeks in preparation for the foundation pour. The massive effort was managed by 30 workers on-site, plus 25 concrete truck drivers.“
