Eleanor Harris: An Eye On British Airways i360

The i360 is one of the biggest engineering projects to happen in the UK in recent years and we are hoping to inspire a future generation of architects and engineers.
Before we even started building we brought in our filming partner, Latest TV, who along with our two official photographers have been working with us for the past year to capture every stage of the construction.
Latest has created a series of fascinating short films, each lasting a couple of minutes documenting the build.They include films on the concrete pour, both beach landings and the fitting of the first steel can. There is also behind the scenes footage and interviews from the people working on the project.
These videos are brilliant for people who perhaps can’t make it down to the site, have missed any of the work or who want to get a different perspective on the work we are doing.

It is great to have the team from Latest TV documenting the build. The building of the i360 is a historic time for Brighton and it is fantastic to have it being recorded at every stage by a local TV crew who have been able to pop down to the site whenever something momentous has happened.
It is great to see these films coming together. You can now watch these on our You Tube Channel or our website. As well as the Latest short films, we have also uploaded some fantastic drone footage and some TV news pieces.
We had the BBC on site last week. They were lucky enough to climb up to the top of the jacking tower to see how it works.
This week the project reached another major milestone as we lifted our first can into place using the jacking tower. We have also added our aircraft warning light, as the tower is beginning to get very high!
