Concrete pump on the Office tower has jumped. Also, walking by along Spadina, it is going to be interesting how the street level and office tower level will meet as they seem pretty far off in height. Though I'm sure they know what they are doing haha.

Rainy day updates from above. They have been pushing the dump trucks up the ramp as they have been sliding today. Didn't get a photo of that part though, will try later if I see it again.

An assembly of cranes, the birds that is, is sometimes called a construction of cranes, or a dance, or a swoop....

Also a herd, sedge / sege or seige apply to Cranes, specifically.

Terms of venery are ever so fun.

Could always go with a murder of cranes lol similar to a murder of crows. (What a group of crows is called if you did not already know). ;p

I see in the last picture posted that a concrete barrier has been added to the ramp going into the pit. Ironically I had just written a post saying a ramp such as this at a mine isn't allowed without a berm.
