At a glance: 36-hour concrete pour for Miami鈥檚 Okan Tower
31 May 2024
The immense developing skyscraper, Okan Tower, located in Miami, Florida, US, had a 36-hour continuous concrete pour to lay the foundation for what will be a 70-storey mixed-use high-rise in the city鈥檚 downtown.

Starting at 9 p.m. local time on 29 March, a fleet of 1,200 concrete trucks, 160 drivers, and 300 workers cooperated throughout the day-and-half straight of pouring concrete. They filled the base hole, which measured 234 by 140 ft (71 by 43m) and 14 ft (4m) deep.
In addition, crews installed more than five million lbs (2,300 tonnes) of high-strength reinforcing steel.
The collective worked at a rate of 400 cu yd (306m3) per hour and finished on 31 March.
Lead contractor Jacob Companies (US) oversaw the project in a joint venture with Okan Construction. US American Concrete served as the scheme鈥檚 concrete contractor, and the mixture was from Mexico-based construction materials producer Cemex.
