Construction

The new building required the expert engineering of Bird Construction to match Cardinal’s vision, in large part due to the underground river and silty soil conditions. Engineers had to drive almost 600 steel piles into the soil, which provided the base for reinforced concrete to house the building. Approximately 200 workers were needed over two years to complete the project.

Construction required:

15,000 m³ (16,400 yd³) of concrete

21,3330 m² (270,000 ft²) of glass

1,100 tons of rebar

nearly 16km (10mi) of steel pile driven to depths of 100 feet
