I thought I read that they intend to install more permanent safety netting around the 1st mechanical level. My guess is the cladding scaffolding would have to ascend past the mech. level before this is possible?
That scaffolding seems to move quite slowly, so difficult to say how long.
I hope I am wrong, those cut out corners are great. Heres something to illustrate what Im referring to.
red = diagonal beams placement
green = height of mechanical section
That floor like slab thing is in the middle of the mech section. Hopefully @khaldoon is right and that is just temporary...
Really appreciate the photos, everyone. Thank you.
Im noticing the way the mechanical floor is being constructed might not line up with the rendering. The rendering shows the mechanical missing the corners of the building, while in the photos above, the floor corners seem to have been poured...
Yep, that corrugated cladding above the glass wasn't included in the mockup, but it's all over the rendering (between most of the floors). Heres hoping it turns out like the examples in your link! :)
The strike cannot extend past June 15, and at time they would have to go to automatic arbitration.
They could settle at any time, bit the strike will be 6 weeks max.
Maybe it's a design revision to add structural strength? The revision having been done after the manufacture of the super columns, required a bit of creative thinking?

Thank you for all the photos of this project! :)
This reminds me of the gigantic pour for the "raft" foundation of 1 Bloor East; the single biggest pour I remember reading about on this site.
Might be worth looking through those pages for those interested...
