Toronto Eau du Soleil Condos | 227.98m | 66s | Empire | Richmond Architects

I've been wondering that too. I think this must be the largest amount of soil removed from a single excavation in Toronto's history possibly. Scotia was big, Shangri-la was big. Maybe FCP or TD Centre might have been larger?

I'd guesstimate the volume of soil / rock removed at ~200,000 m3.

Shame it wasn't recycled in making those Humber Bay islands that were talked about.

Yeah, there is a Waterfront Landform Study going on and you know what that means in this city...10-20yrs

To any wikipedia contributors out there, the page below should be updated. One building that is clearly out of date on that wikipedia is this one. Still shows Eau du Soleil as being 'proposed'.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Toronto

We have a new front page story up here, where you can watch the rather substantial amount of work going on here at the moment in video form where cranes swan about, hammers crack rock, and shovels move it around…

and there are some other recent pics in that story too, but there are more here, first from a couple days ago:

… and from yesterday:

Cute!

I was toured through a construction site once where the concrete third floor of the building had been skim-coated one day, last thing before the workers went home for the evening. When they got back in next morning, there were racoon tracks everywhere, embedded in the floor like they'd had a gigantic party just before the skim-coat set overnight.

So… racoons can create trouble in ways you'd never expect!

Ohh no. Does this happen a lot on sites?

 

[interchange42]

I've only seen it the once, but I don't spend every day on construction sites!

Luckily no racoons were stuck in the wet concrete.
