The 1st construction crane has been erected for Phase 1 of West Harbour City and is now pouring the very deepest levels of underground concrete foundations (known in construction language as the concrete footings) for the tower building, far below even the lowest level of parking. Building the foundations is an important and somewhat time-consuming process, so don't expect to see anything visible above ground for some months. This first crane is just one of the 4 giant cranes scheduled to be erected on site during the construction of Phases 1 & 2, which will be built in tandem. As you probably know, the sales office is closed now to permit demolition of the balance of the original Molson Brewery building and make way for construction of Phase 2, part of which occupies the lands where the old Brewery building was originally built.
As you may have seen, Phase 2 pre-construction demolition work is moving along as swiftly as posibble, with about 50% of the sales centre building demolition complete. This demolition work is being carried out in an environmentally sensitive manner, to permit as much of the old building to be recycled as steel ingots and crusher aggregate for roadbeds and other new construction uses, so that as little as possible ends up as refuse and landfill. Once this demolition is complete, shoring and excavation for this second phase of West Harbour City will begin.
