Devon Construction Cam

[Pete]

We now have a camera set up in the Oklahoma Tower.

The image is updated every minute. You may need to refresh your browser to see the most recent version. This will be a fatantastic vantage point once the structure starts rising from the ground.

Hopefully people will continue to post detailed images on the other Devon Tower thread and perhaps we can get more cameras up in the future.

[bombermwc]

Yes! Is this in Oklahoma Tower? Say like 12th floor or so?

[Richard at Remax]

do you have a url or is it accessed only through this thread?

[Pete]

Only through this thread.

[metro]

Pete, you're a genius, now let the OKC Talk advertising campaign begin!

[ksearls]

Very cool!

[Decious]

Nice! Thanks to the people responsible for this cam.

[lonestarstatesux]

Is there a log being kept of all the pictures so that at some point in the future a fast-forward video could be produced of the construction?

Thats what I was about to ask.

[OKCisOK4me]

Is this cam going to be transmitting all minutes of the day or will it operate only during daylight hours?

[CCOKC]

Very cool! Leave it to you to get things done.

[Pete]

It should be up 24/7.

And I'll try to save periodic images so we can later put together a time lapse.

[betts]

Wow, yes it's all dark there now. Very cool. I drove by this morning and saw the mysterious styrofoam forms assembled in the southwest quadrant. There was also a cement truck there, but I couldn't tell what they were pouring. Should have looked at the camera here.

...ummm, maybe cement...

(lol, couldn't resist)

[russellc]

No, it was probably concrete. Cement is just a component of concrete.

sorry, my mom worked for Dolese and that is a big no-no there

[FritterGirl]

Nice! Thanks to the people responsible for this cam.

Ditto! Applause, Applause! Thanks to everyone who's helping.

I'll try to take some "ground zero" pics as I can since I'm in the area a lot, but I know they won't at all compare to this. What a thrill to have a moment by moment documentary of this historic event.

BRAVO!!

[DaveSkater]

.ps You place concrete, you POUR beer. LOL

Easiest prediction of the year: This thread's "views count" will dwarf all other threads.

[Pete]

Yeah, I was just thinking that about the number of views.

As long as the camera remains operational, we'll blow through the previous record of 72,000.

[Steve]

Very, very nice job guys. I'm still hoping to get a live-streaming video cam set up, and I'll let you know how that goes.

[OKC74]

Maybe I'm not clear...but...is the base of the tower only as big as where they are currently digging? I know the atrium, etc, are going west of the tower, but it doesn't look like they've cleared any of the west end of the parking deck...? And not that the area they're currently digging is SMALL by any means...I just imagined the base taking up more space than where they currently are digging, meaning in order to start the base of the tower that more of the parking deck would have to be gone. Does anyone know?

It just looks small because the image is far away - it's a really big space - just compare it to other buildings, cars, etc.

I'll be watching from Asheville N.C.. Thanks!

[gen70]

I haven't been in downtown OKC in about 20 yrs.. Is that the Black Hotel on the right side of cam. image?

[OKC74]

Ok cool - thanks OURULZ. So the space they've cleared is the tower, and the rest, where the parking deck still is, will be for the atrium, etc, correct? Any word why they didn't clear ALL of the deck before starting to dig for the tower?
