Question: Assuming it were possible to pour a slab per week (or faster), what is the minimum time required for concrete to dry before starting on the next storey or pouring the next slab?

In other buildings, I have seen them erecting the forms and rebar for the walls the morning after a floor slab has been poured the night before.

Although it takes many days for concrete to fully cure, I think it is safe to start working on a poured slab less than 12 hours later. The forms supporting the slab or other temporary supports underneath it would usually stay on for few more weeks.

Question: Assuming it were possible to pour a slab per week (or faster)…

At this point, the current concrete shortage makes the speed per floor moot.

I'm hearing of layoffs starting in concrete-dependent businesses here in Ontario, so there's yet another hurdle this project is going to have to weather.

Any idea who's the ventilation sub for this one?

Crane has jumped! But doesn't seem like by much. Maybe they do it in stages.

I am guessing by the length of the blue beams on the elevator core structure, that it will be rising faster than the floors?

 

[Benito]

A couple more.

How long does it take now to make each floor? What floor level are they working on now?

Now a peek-a-boo shot from Yorkville Avenue:

We'll wrap up with a picture from Balmuto that I like as a marker for how much of the view of 1 Bloor East gets erased over time:

Whats the plan for the side of the heritage building? Looks rough right now. Clean in place or disassemble and reassemble the brick facade?

They’re going to paint a vintage style billboard for the Brass Rail, something that will maintain the upscale character of the street…

How much will the crane expedite the construction of each storey?
