To be fair, this isn't really a supertall. Rather though, something impressively tall where for some of us in the downtown Six who still view Mississauga as a suburb...

It takes a lot more than a 260 m building to become a metropolitan city. Anyways, Mississauga is getting there quickly.

2.5 out of 3 sides of the perimeter have been shored. I think the west side is not being drilled/shored.

I believe that a supertall building starts at a height of 304.8 metres or 1000 feet. And ends at a height before 606.6 metres or 2000 feet . But this is building will become the tallest skyscraper in Toronto's 905 region at this point so far !

If you're American. Liberian, or from Myanmar. For the rest of the planet a super tall is 300m.

Exactly - the generally accepted building height standard comes from the CTBUH which defines a supertall as such:

More machinery arriving on the site. This one is for excavation support piles?

I believe this machine is for drilling tie-backs in the rock to help prevent landslides of the exterior excavation walls.

Ya that
I knew what it does but I am not familiar with all the technical terms and whether the machine had a specific name.

Maybe they can start by giving Burnhamthorpe a road diet.
