Looks like fine work being done by the various construction trades on this project. Then again - what do I know. 
I do know that I used to see most of those platform riggings for the concrete being assembled with 2X4 lumber and plywood panels. As a matter of fact, there is actually some of that ‘old school’ type platform riggings (or molds) being used on the corner sections; for some practical reason no doubt.
Those yellow beams, and metallic adjustable support structures look like top quality (and modern) equipment to me; as best I can surmise as a casual observer. 
Those guys up there are working today in High Winds, and very cold weather: those brisk winds coming off the Hudson River are wicked cold. Here is a hats-off salute to all the trade workers up there today.
