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.
He also revealed that his team did not provide any instructions to the fix contractor on ways to prevent the tower’s sinking and tilting from getting worse from drilling and digging around two sides of the foundation.
City Supervisor Aaron Peskin appeared Thursday weary of holding multiple hearings over the last five years about the fate of the sinking and leaning tower, which is now tilting some 26 inches north and west at the corner of Fremont and Mission streets.
Monitoring data shows that 10 inches of that tilt and about 2 inches of settlement occurred during work on the so-called fix last year.
“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.
In his remarks, Hamburger acknowledged for the first time that his team did not provide any initial guidance to Shimmick Construction, the fix contractor, on ways to limit the impact of the drilling and digging to install steel support piles.
