After more than six months of scrutiny, San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspection has issued a revised building permit for the revamped perimeter pile upgrade of the settling 645-ft-tall Millennium Tower, thanks to a determination from the planning department that the revised scheme would not have any negative environmental impacts. The upgrade now consists of 18 piles to bedrock, already installed, rather than 52.
"In consultation with the engineering design review team, the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection has approved the revised permit applications for the 301 Mission foundation retrofit," says DBI in a statement.
