Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

Why is the rebar green and in other cities not green? The rebar that is green, is epoxy coated. It helps mitigate corrosion of the rebar. Since this is a parking garage they are using epoxy coated rebar in the slabs and beams. The rebar at the stair tower is not epoxy coated so it is the typical re...

Re: The Duo (222 S 15 ST) formerly Central Park Plaza

The current mechanical penthouse is going to be utilized for an additional level. So roof of the building is floor 16, new level 17, and the roof of the existing penthouse will remain relatively the same elevation.

I'm not involved in the project, but I believe there will be a partial basement for this building. However, the water table in this area is rather high which makes multiple levels of basements impractical as they would require continuous dewatering.
