Pretty sure these are to attach the building to the bedrock for stability.

I just talked to a guy on site and he said they have another 2 or 3 levels left to dig.

 

[innsertnamehere]

what are they doing piling in the middle of the site like that then? I'm confused..

 

[ptbotrmpfn]

this is the slowest project on the go.

I think that crown still goes to U Condos. One Bloor is just being watched more closely and anticipated more highly.

I think he may have been yanking your chain.

If you check out the video regarding the 1 Bloor construction progress, it does show beams being piled at that specific location shown in the photos - http://youtu.be/tjSRnv9zFk0

Does that look like a 6 storey hole? I can't tell.

There's been a whole lot of re-bar laid down on the south-east corner of the site, whether it's for storage or they're starting to lay it I don't know, I just know what I've seen.

Nope. Milan is definately the slowest.

Caissons!!

What they are drilling are caissons for the raft slab. They need to drill form that platform
because the lower level will not support the heavy rig! Same as the u condos, seems slow but it is alot of work.
