The engineer responsible for the troubled fix of the Millennium Tower acknowledged Thursday that the building is continuing to tilt about 3 inches a year since work began.
“We start this new year 2022 as we ended last year and many other years, with the Millennium Tower continuing to sink and tilt,” a clearly exasperated Peskin said before introducing fix engineer Ron Hamburger at the hearing.
“The procedures for installing piles were basically the contractor’s prerogative,” Hamburger told city supervisors. “We did not tell them how to install piles. We specified that we needed piles of a given diameter and strength. And he basically did those as a design build to install the piles in which he determined the methods by which he would install them.”“This is a 50-plus story building, very heavy, in the heart of downtown San Francisco,” Peskin countered.
