In the yellow bubble appears10 silver tubes/pipes/hoses, what are they? I thought they were part of the concrete pumping system but I see 10 more of them to the south and they’ve built rebar around them in a wall and they are staggered. Now I’m thinking they will pull cables through them and then prestress them in tension, does that make sense? Thoughts?

They are Dywidag threaded bars and sleeves that are part of the post-tension system that will help compress the building.

Some photos of the Rec Centre sourced from the local counciller on the bird app:

The entrance is wrapping up nicely.

I'm really enjoying the increase in tiled murals going up on municipal projects, like the one in the lobby here (or the Kipling transit hub). There are a few others in both the pool, and some other common rooms.
