Its prep for perimeter shoring. The perimeter shoring installation is over 6-7 months for this site. The beams should be massive for this site.

The bulk excavation is complete. The owners are in the process awarding a contractor to build the buildings. This would include the foundation and drainage work.

All the excavation and footings are complete. They are working on the drains and stone for the floor slab. Workers told me yesterday they excavated the last of the footings and are working on the drains. It was a quick dig.

The site has been stalled for months as they don't have a permit to erect the crane for the site. Not sure how that could have happened. They have an open site and are waiting for a permit to erect the crane so they can finish the big raft footing and townhomes off of Dundonald.

They are waiting on permits from the city to commence shoring and excavation. The site staff are hoping that they will be in before the end of the month.

No doubt. Look at all that shoring. Plus they have been dewatering the site and drilled a fair amount of structural caissons from grade. These tight deep holes are a complicated.

This building is on structural caissons. There will not be any major foundation pits etc.. here. About 6-7 feet deeper to get to the bottom here. They are installing some more dewatering at the site to control the water.

I believe so. Trucks have been hauling material in there the past few days.

About that. Maybe not 2 complete floors.

I don't believe there is any rock at this site. (Too Far north from the water to hit bedrock here.) The tarps are intended to insulate and protect the caisson wall during shoring and excavation after they have been trimmed. the tarps are removed once foundation walls are formed and poured.

Indeed it will. Spring 2016 is the anticipated start for Shoring. The heritage work is extensive at the site and will take a fair bit of time to complete.

They are likely doing some exploratory work around the existing buildings so that they don't undermine the strcutures

YC is drilling structural caissons from grade which explains why the drilling is taking forever. Plus you have a much larger footprint to work with here.

I believe so but they would all be formed off the raft slab once poured. I am expecting a fair amount of steel will start to be laid and tied now. (Similar to how CASA III is looking right now.)

Massey Tower is a raft slab and once poured and complete I believe will then be the location of the crane. They cannot install the crane on the Hall side until the tower crane is operational on the Tower side given the proximity of both sites. Looking at the Hall side the only remaining material...

They went down an additional 3-4 parking levels over the past year or so working with mini excavators all while people were in the tower were still there. Its pretty cool to hear what the workers there have to say about it. Not sure we have too many buildings of this scale being constructed in...

The site is saying that they changed the structural design of the building and that they will be starting up again soon. All the shoring has changed and they will be adding more of it because of the changes. It could be related to soil conditions as it doesn't make sense to have started the...

They are going down 5 levels here.

Apparently there is a change in the shoring design and they had to fill in what was already removed. They will likely start up with the shoring once again and excavation to follow.

The delay is permit related as well. The city has delayed issuing permits cause of the Pan Am Games as they likely want to limit the extent of activity in the area - especially given the athletes village is close by.
