How deep will they go on this one, the west tower is 120 meters so they should be going pretty deep in ground?

Not sure how deep exactly but there's only 2 level of underground parking.

Yup there may be a lot of disappointments but this project is one of the wins, and as Ottawa continues to transition from medium-big city to big city, there will be more wins to come. Now if only we could transit-plan like a real big city and not follow in the footsteps of our highschool dropout big brother, Toronto.

They only need to excavate as deep as the parking garage. They use pile drivers to get the foundation deep into bedrock.

interesting, I walked by and it looks deep for the West tower, this means they should be pouring the footing for crane shortly
