Photos taken today, Sunday (April 16). A big day as the first rail climbing system truss was installed, and (as seen in thaivic's post above) the first suspended working platform of, I believe, six for the north side. The skin will be added to the building behind all this and the rail climbing system will inch up revealing the completed windows and cladding as the construction progresses.
Most of these photos are of the specially designed truss, assembled by a bridge crew, which I am told is unique to this project - nothing else like it in the world.
The sequence here starts with the final piece being attached to the four-section truss, then hoisted up over the staging area on Yonge Street and swung over to Bloor Street, as police redirect passersby and traffic. Then it is brought up to the attachment points on the brackets installed yesterday. The truss is not yet attached in this series - but you can see the completed product in thaivic's post above. The final photo shows the first draping work area trucked to the staging area on Yonge Street to be attached to a yellow steel form, and that piece is what we see in thaivic's post being hoisted to position hanging from the truss. The plan is to get the north side completed next weekend, then move to the east and west sides, two weeks each, on subsequent weekends. A different system will be employed on the south side because of the crane.
