Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

i would imagine the temporary walls have something to do with the fact that the lobby won't be properly enclosed until the original facades are reconstructed, which may not happen for some time. the upper floors are a different story, as soon as the exterior windows are installed the floor is protected from the elements

Thank you, Thank you!!!

You smart guy.

Thanks Guy!!!

Edit:

I just noticed that it looks like they've installed some more steel columns to the top of the framework.

Moving fast....

You mean the one that is tipping over?

They are certainly putting extra effort into the hoarding with the artwork. Hope they do the same with the final cladding.

You mean the one that is tipping over?

Yeah, that one.

And the 3 or 4 others that have been added to the south west corner.

Core-Jackin'

Here is the webcam view from this afternoon. As you can see, more flooring has been placed, and more of the artwork hoarding is ready to go up. Plus the core bump is complete.

Notice the crank column going up under the 3rd tier of steel bean and columns going up this week.

More panels arriving today under 2 police escort and a over width sign truck following them up Yonge. The panel say they weigh 3890kg each from the marking on them. Once this section is enclose, it will cheaper to heat was well, the worker will not need their winter coat on to work. It will help help to keep the steel warm when they start the pouring of the concrete floors. These panel will rise as the work move up until the spring when the good warm weather shows. Took a few minutes to clear the intersection of traffic to allow the truck to turn off Yonge.
