We are probably not going to see this poor until sometime next weekLast posted showing the rebar still had about a third of the slab to be tied

I'm trying to recall all the massive pours we've had in the past and I'm coming up with Four Seasons raft slab and One Bloor raft slab. Transfer slabs at Sugar Wharf were also large but nowhere near as big as those other two.

Yeah I kind of wonder how many cubic meters of concrete will be involved . This will be a lot of trucks that is for sure

The Well had one or two.

One Bloor East? One Bloor W had a massive slab pour at the bottom of the pit from what I recall - and as Khaldoon mentioned, so did the Well.

Yeah, One Bloor East. Hard to believe this is over 10 years ago now...

The Big Pour Turns Heads at One Bloor East | UrbanToronto
A huge concrete pour has now created the foundation slab for one of Canada's most significant coming structures, Great Gulf Homes' flagship One Bloor. The 75-storey Hariri Pontarini Architects-designed tower is on the rise!

I think the transfer parts where also built into the above grade complex structure of the bottom part of The One. Likely one of the main reasons why it seemingly took forever and a dog's age to get past the 8th floor.

The contrast in glazing between Phases I and II is pretty bananas!

I approve of this podium got a little scared for a second now. Can we get 93 floors installed on top

I'm curious how much time is saved by tarping the sides of the transfer slab floor, once the pour commences. Does that dramatically improve curing time? If so, does anyone know by how much, or would it not be possible to cure concrete in low temperatures without it?

It isn't so much for curing time as it is to prevent the underside of the slab frost it also allows you to heat the deck of the slab to be poured to avoid having to shovel, which when the entire deck is rebar saves you hundreds of hours of man hours
