VT6 - New Building Walking Street Side

[striderman]

Direct from the on site project manager 3 August 2015.  Question was asked..  What method will you use for the foundation of the building.  Answer...  Will use the new German method of drilling the hole with the Auger and filling it with  concrete.   Question..   So there will be no pile driving.  Answer...   correct   there will be no pile driving.   As most of you know most of the noise comes from driving the piles for the foundation.  If this information is correct it is very good news for people who are staying on the South Side of View Talay 6.

that type of system was used at the nearby site in front of sea me hotel soi 10

Thanks striderman for your daily updates 

[wurzel]

Thank you striderman for the daily updates and photographs also dancewatcher for the update regarding use of auger, had been getting concerned about forthcoming November trip being during weeks of solid pile-driving.

[Cosmic36]

I'll be staying at VT6 in March so I really appreciate the updates on this thread!

Thank you striderman for the daily updates and photographs also dancewatcher for the update regarding use of auger, had been getting concerned about forthcoming November trip being during weeks of solid pile-driving.

the auger from what i have seen involves a hollow pipe mostly or all concrete i dunno, forced into the ground at the same time a big screw thing removes earth.

there is a bit of thumping to force it in but nothing like the noise the hammering it takes to knock in a solid concrete pile.

after i guess the hollow bit is filled in with concrete.

construction BM's on here will know a lot more than me about the process

[striderman]

more kit.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

another auger unit hidden in the trees

That second auger has just been set up.

Not really much noise atm. Sitting on the balcony as im typing this.

Worst noise i heard where between 08 and 09 in the morning. There could have been other annoying noises during the day that im missing. Not really bothering me to much yet. But have to chose hotel carefully if your bothered by noise, i can hear a few more construction sites around here and cars, loud speakers, boats etc.

What floor and wing are you staying at ?

[Daddee]

can't see that the noise would be much of an issue for me, seeing as how I am usually inside with the sliders shut and the AC on...  the fact they won't be pile driving is huge good news!!!

I just moved into VT6 day before yesterday. I booked a room on the Hilton side. I woke up at 9am yesterday to some very loud construction, one of the condos on the 21st floor was being renovated...it was really loud and sounded like it was directly above me. I booked through Honey and I went down and spoke with her about changing rooms. She showed me 6 different condos. The most quiet one, and the only one she had vacant that was not effected by the renovation noise, was on the Walking Street side. She went out of her way to help me find a quiet room, it was really nice of her. Honey told me there are over 1000 owners in VT6 and there are renovations happening pretty much constantly. Currently it is pretty quiet here on the WS side..for now. It is tough to find a quiet place to rest your head in this town!

[striderman]

nice shots.

from beach rd i can only guess what is happening back there, 2 lines of trees in the way.

 

from the front......

This being a VT6 thread, obviously there is concern for the effect on WS side owners' views being affected.

 

What of the views for the future owners of the new condo's etc ?

 

For some of them on the North side the prospect of gazing at VT6 (not exactly aesthetic itself) while those on WS side have to be how high to get a seaview ?

[Jnl]

What floor and wing are you staying at ?

17 floor, ws side

Im on 17 floor and i can look over the roof off The Bayview. Im guessing you will have a decent view from 15 floor and above. Maybe someone staying lower can confirm it better. The closer to to the beach will be even lower for decent view, since there are lower buildings in front of The Bayview

From VT6, yes I've heard that, depending on what they build above the 15 planned floors, like water storage, solar panels and the rooftop disco' etc.

 

I was talking about the view the occupiers of the yet to be built condos facing VT6 in particular.

I suppose they will get less sympathy because at leat it's already there?

[axunjaxn]

Um... DUH...  I was speaking of the photo's.  But thanks for your effort to be funny.

 

Cheers

The pictures are accurate. they look like my pictures I took from the hotel across the street.

I don't believe they are condos and I am pretty sure nobody at V.T. 6 cares about their view.

Edge, They are not going to be condos, from what I have learned.   Hotels  15 floor closer to beach road, and in the center of the lot another hotel only this one serviced apartments,  and later in phase 2 another hotel closer to 2nd road.   Beachroadlover

Honey and Dancewatcher have been my friends for 10 years or more. They are both service oriented and honest. Nothing to worry about with either one. I would not consider using anyone else. Dancewatchers managed my condo rental unit for a few years and I never had 1 problem that was not solved quickly and efficiently. I have rented several units from Honey and of course my family and friends all loved her. If you ever meet her you will know what I mean.

Thanks Jnl but can you also tell us if you are in Pool wing or Second Road wing in VT6, which changes a lot regarding noise in the next months and view a bit later ?

[localguy]

Great pictures, thank you. How does it look on the Second Road side? Is all the construction action near Beach Road?
