I took a few more pictures of that warehouse and it is going to be huge or two buildings. There are steel piles and a perimeter excavated at least twice as long as what has been raised so far. It looks like it will extend nearly as far as the existing warehouse beside it.

How big is the current Loblaw warehouse in the GTH compared to this for scale?

Easy to copy / paste Loblaws warehouse footprint from OpenStreetMap for comparison. New one would be at most 1/4 the size. The Loblaws warehouse is 1 million square feet.

Yes it is the warehouse near Park and Ross. I can take some more photos out at the GTH tonight or tomorrow. I haven't noticed many obvious changes at the Cargill plant, a lot of the work is at ground level and hard to see, and there are a few large berms in the way. Phase 1 of the SaskPower site seems to be nearing completion, they were paving the roads and parking lots. A few days ago a tender notification was posted on Sasktenders for phase 2 (the actual tender is on a different bidding site).

That would be great thank you for your input

It looks like the core part of the plant has been under construction for a while. A big piece of equipment was in place back in late May and they keep adding pieces around it. A pair of large steel silos under construction.

I saw some pipeline construction west of the city for the past month and decided to go figure out where it was going. A few paths through fields were just for equipment access, so little less construction than I originally thought. It starts (or ends) at the new GTH natural node beside Dewdney at the west entrance. It runs west to just past the GTH, then runs north beside some power transmission lines. Then it turns east following power lines to the bypass zig zagging in a few spots following the power lines.

At the bypass it splits in two. One line going under the bypass beside the railcar plant to Pinkie. Shifts over towards the rail line, goes south under the rail line then turns east running along the railway towards Dojack. The other line follows the bypass, crosses the creek, then runs beside the 9th Ave N exit ramp to an exiting above ground natural gas pipe, so that is probably the starting point.

The line heading toward the city is a bit of a mystery.

TransGas is doing a lot of pipelining in relation to their circumnavigation of the City. Here is part of it. https://www.transgas.com/media/296/download

Also SaskWater is building the industrial raw water pipeline in that area also.

I saw the water one earlier in a different location. That should take some load off the water treatment plant if they can convert a few big water users like the refinery and steel mill.

A 20" cast iron pipe runs along Armour Road from 1 grid west of Condie Road to Pinkie. Goes north on the part of Pinkie that only goes to a farm, then cuts across the field toward #11 presumably following a power line. It looks like it will cross the #11 into the industrial area at the weigh scales. The one out to the GTH is 16" plastic. That one seems to diverge from the main line somewhere west of Sherwood Forest. Maybe I'll go track that spot down, the dirt road it follows is a nice ride.

I believe Evraz uses its own water from wells and dugouts for cooling. The new canola crush plants and the Red Leaf Pulp mill are also likely to be big users.

Actually that one is the Rosenau Transport warehouse sandwiched between Park, Ross and the Ring Road. Somewhere along the bypass would have been a better spot. More merging semis coming off Ross as people are trying to get into the right lane for the Dewdney and Victoria exits. Traffic ends up grinding down to 60 along that stretch.

Yeah that should definitely be somewhere near the bypass. You're right about that stretch of the Ring Road being absolutely terrible for merging traffic just living traffic flow there.
