The tower is now at grade! Some areas at least. They are putting up the roof for the last parkade level.

once they get above grade, PCL should be able to pour a floor per week.

Floor per week would be amazing to see, wasn't that the pace of the Burj Dubai? (sp may be off)

@Das Ponto -- don't know about the Burj, but PCL has a reputation for quick erections. Did you notice how quickly the Edmonton tower caught up to… never mind that was a steel job. I think they supply all of their workers with Viagra and pin-up girls.

Bahaha well played.

June 23 - really sucks that the 104 Ave sidewalk is totally closed off, so I can't really get much closer...

Hah, @Daveography, we were right they are slip forms and they are rising today!

 

[Das Ponto]

Nice! That should make for quick work of the concrete.

June 29 - core is indeed above grade

 

[Das Ponto]

Look at those little floats go!! look so tiny in comparison to the building.

@Das Ponto They look fun to use, though I saw a worker bail one when he went too far over a seam once. It was quite a sight to witness from ~30 floors above him. Won't say what site or who was working on it, but was surprised given their reputation for safety. He seemed to be ok, at least, but it could have been a lot worse if it happened at a drop.

Next best thing to bumper cars!
