This site has been void of construction workers for a over a week? Anyone know why?
- Thread starter Surrealplaces
- Start date
Maybe some supply issues? I can't imagine it being halted altogether at this point, especially being funded by the province.

No activity today. I suspect there may have been an industrial accident on site? If thats the case, typically construction sites can be suspended until investigation is completed.

Spoke with a contractor who worked on the site. Indicated there not sure why the site is currently shut down with no activity. They have heard there maybe concrete issues?
Let's hope they get whatever resolved so we can see this through completion.
Unfortunately not much change from a month ago.

This is a much larger building than the renderings make it look.

Concrete Deficiency is what the word is.

This site has been stopped due to structural issues, so the rumours about deficient concrete strength seem accurate.

I’m not knowledgeable about construction myself, so not sure what I’m looking for in the pic.

Are those chopstick-looking supports buckling?

That's what I see, but not a very clear picture so it's hard to tell.
