The Sky Tower


  • it took two years and nine months to build Sky Tower
  • Sky Tower has three circular public observation levels - Sky Deck, Main Observation level and Sky Café - from each of which you can get a 360-degree view of Auckland
  • Three glass-fronted elevators can take 225 people to the observation levels every 15 minutes. The elevators travel at 18km per hour and the ride takes only 40 seconds
  • There are 1,267 steps from the base of Sky Tower to Sky Deck. It would take someone 29 minutes to reach Sky Deck walking at 4km (2.5 mph)
  • On a clear day you can see approximately 82 kilometres (51 miles) from Sky Tower. That's as far north as Leigh Peninsula, as far east as Great Barrier Island, as far west as the Waitakere Ranges, and as far south as the Bombay Hills
  • In 2009 the record was broken for the fastest run up the Sky Tower. Thomas Dold from Germany set an astounding record of 4 minutes 53 seconds.                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  • The Sky Tower consists of 15,000 cubic metres of concrete, 2,000 tonnes of reinforcing steel and 600 tonnes of structural steel – including 170 tonnes in the mast
  • Sky Tower is constructed from a high strength, high performance concrete
  • The foundations go down more than 15 metres and are designed to spread force load
  • It has been designed to remain essentially undamaged during storms with winds gusting to 200 km/hr (125 mph), which can result in sway at the top of the concrete shaft of approximately one metre
  • In the extreme event of a magnitude 8.0 earthquake occurring within 20 kilometres of the tower, analysis shows that Sky Tower would remain standing.
  • During construction constant verification was necessary to ensure Sky Tower was perfectly straight. This telemetry encompassed three key techniques
  • The first is called ‘resection’ where measurements were taken from three different existing points surrounding Sky Tower - in this case the ASB Bank building, Mount Eden and the Coopers and Lybrand building - to find the precise centre point of the structure
  • During construction of the shaft, lasers positioned on the base pad of Sky Tower were shone up to the jump platform in a grid pattern to provide vertical readings
  • Finally, daily real-time readings were taken of the structure using seven global positioning satellites to confirm the exact position of Sky Tower.

Recipe for pancakes

Step 1 Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside. 
Step 2 In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine). 
Step 3 Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel 
Step 4 For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet) 
Step 5 Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings 
Step 6 BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk. 
Step 7 YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk. 
Step 8 WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
