I honestly didn't expect better from Knack. Atleast he's more qualified to comment on construction than the lady complaining about change.
Extras a contractors wet dream100% that 3rd party infrastructure work was done on change order, at a nice juicy cost plus rate
The Crosstown is such a debacle, makes the Valley Line look like an on-time Japanese rail project lol.We think we have issues.
Yeah, the gantry method is clearly a lot faster than the alternative, and it requires less closures and space to erect. I’m really glad MIP used this methodIs it too much to hope that this opens CoE's eyes that elevated LRT can be built at record speed?
By the time we open the entire 27 km line, we'll have endured almost the same construction timeline as Crosstown assuming it opens in 2024. 2011-2024 versus 2016 -2027. 25km versus 27km. Assuming VLW opens on time, we'll have completed ours two years quicker. Who knows though, maybe we will all be cursing Marigold in 2029 because of unforeseen issues.We think we have issues.
I'm assuming you're talking about the rails?Someone on SSP reporting potential issues with some of the welds now?
Here's hoping that is regionalized and not prolific in nature.
Yes, they work as ballasts and counterbalances for lifting heavy stuff.I’m not sure what the concrete blocks are for on the back of the gantry (I assume some type of balancing measure?).
I believe I saw the same thing in the 38 Ave station on Thursday or Friday last week as well. Maybe, just maybe we're getting close to opening?My apologies for not thinking to get a picture but I saw a cleaning crew with mops and cleaners and stuff at the Bonnie Doon stop today, so, I'm not an expert in anyway, but I'd assume someone up top is getting pretty confident the line opening is imminent. This assumption based on my time in the trades where we'd do the same type of cleaning right before a house possession.
