I've paid a lot of attention to the excavations for this for the obvious reasons, but I'm a bit of a geology enthusiast and I've found the striatons of the rock particularly interesting.

It certainly is!
Now we get to have a physical indication as to how this development is going to hit our skyline.

When the weather's better, I want to see if anything can be seen from the 'waterfront' cam.
It really is good to see this finally happening

The cab is on now, they are working on assembling the back boom. I am guessing this isn't the full height of the final building, they will probably jack it up once as the building rises.

I drove by tonight, crane s fully up, it has quite a reach, I think two cranes could fully service the site. Maybe they'd need three as the demand on two would be too much, I guess time will tell. I think the mobile crane was being shipped over to Harbour Isle, presumably to take that crane down.

Scratch that - Allnovascotia is reporting there will be 4 cranes at the height of construction.

Short story and interview from CBC news - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2013/09/11/ns-halifax-hole-construction.html

I wondered if the person being interviewed was a member of skyscraperpage.com since he seems to like construction?

Which corner is it in - I can't see it on the webcam so maybe it is the south-west corner? webcam - http://www.novascotiawebcams.com/halifax/nova-centre-construction.html

I saw the concrete trucks and pumper converged about midway along the western side/Market St. wall when they were pouring the other day...

Thank you for the pictures kph06. Your pictures show much more detail than the webcam. Do you know what site the crane is coming from?

Thank you hoser111 for the information on the concrete trucks. I wish I could see the construction in person; it will be exciting for construction enthusiasts.

No problem. I'm not sure where it would be coming from, I would assume the one at Cragimore and the one up on Larry Uteck would be down here at some point as they can all climb. The yellow base would hint Craigmore, but that is still a ways from being done there. I feel like I've seen Lead having a modern yellow one in Moncton a while ago, so maybe its that one?
