Are the pilings for those other tall buildings in the bedrock?
- anigbrowl 10y agoDepends. Some are but but in recent years it's been more common to use steel structures which (being lighter) don't require that. Noise might have something to do with too. The last building that I recall having bedrock-depth pilings involved loud shuddering bangs through the financial district for nearly a month. Like you could feel it through the ground 3 blocks away every time they dropped the hammer..
