Case Foundation breaks down a caisson rig Thursday at One Grant Park in the South Loop.
Down at One Grant Park in the South Loop, Case Foundation has disassembled most of its caisson equipment and hauled it away. And while I’m no math genius, I couldn’t count more than one caisson on site that still awaits its concrete filling.
Now B.U.C. crews will be monitoring the lot at Roosevelt and Michigan 24/7, watching for tower crane parts to arrive. The City of Chicago issued that permit on February 1st, so somewhere there’s a free-standing Potain MD 485B seething to get into the game. It’s March Madness time; I say BRING IT ON.

- There it is, The Final Caisson.

- And everyone wants to see it.

- Pulling counterweights off the caisson rig.
-
- Most of the tall stuff is gone now. Until the tower crane arrives, at least.
-
- Yep, they’re off the Case.
