Adding some protective temporary tape to the sheet metal sleeve and bar.

Looks like a pipe wrench on some sort of coupling attaching the two lengths of steel. Who put that basket and washroom in my way? Maybe some better pictures in a few weeks.
The larger diameter sheetmetal sleeves cover the joints. All the sheet metal sleeves will be encased in concrete and not assessable, assuming there are no access panels? I didn’t see any forms for this. I guess the bars can “move/sway” within the sleeve and be pulled “freely” for tensioning. Fascinating…. for geeks.
How many lengths will be joined together? Just one system or multiple? Anyone?

You can see the details (https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...-hariri-pontarini.17920/page-379#post-1953374) and how they are supposed to work (a few posts down) from @buildtoronto.

There are tabs that will be used for grouting those ducts after the system is tensioned. You are correct that the post tensioning bars are free to move around inside the ducts....... for now. They need to unbonded to the concrete wall they are within so that they can be tensioned at the end of the wall construction. They probably connect new lengths at every level or so, hence those wider bulges in the ducts at the couplers.
 
can someone remind me - has the height increase to 344m been approved here yet? no, right? The city just approved the changes to the south commercial block, right?

Correct.

The height increase has NOT been approved here yet.
