Should be a 7000 t raft slab for the first tower stacked on that mud slab by the end of June. From a construction methods perspective, this project is almost identical to penny lane.

I don't think EAP had a raft slab poured. Bow and Centennial Place did.

Looking good. How many cranes are expected on this site? Two or three?

Three is my guess. Two for construction of the tower, and one that will just be there until the podium is finished.

I needed a Luffer crane to get me out of bed today.... Back & knee problems! Anyway, glad this is getting ready for construction!

Anybody else on here having any trouble having the Multi-Vista camera display?

Here's what I'm now getting when I click on the link I've bookmarked:

Error connecting to Apache Tomcat instance.
Please check that a Tomcat server is running at given location and port..
Details:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8902

You can change this message by changing TomcatConnectErrorURL setting in setting file.

Is this a generalized problem today or is it my settings?

I'd forgotten how big the parkade is.

With all the buildings of different heights and widths on the 7th Ave side, it wasn't easy to get a proper idea of just how gargantuan the parkade actually is.

With the webcam 'birds-eye view' it easily shows that it takes up almost half the block.

whew!

Thx, evolv...I was feeling a little self-conscious.

On the other hand...maybe they're after both of us!

It takes up over half the block. The excavation footprint is larger than the Bow Parkade (current hideous above ground parkade next door).

Any guess on when the underbelly for this beast will be at grade?

Chadillaccc · #**714** Posted **May 22, 2014, 5:45 PM**

This time next year?

September?

Probably mid winter I'd guess.

evolv · #**717** Posted **May 23, 2014, 8:13 PM**

From the webcam. It looks as though this building will have a raft slab. You can see the outline of the building footprint starting to take shape.

H.E.Pennypacker · #**718** Posted **May 23, 2014, 8:20 PM**

^ Sweet .. So many workers scurrying around that put

Love that webcam, some great perspective on the construction

Tower Builder · #**719** Posted **May 26, 2014, 1:55 PM**

This building will have an approximate 2000 tonne raft slab, poured around the 3rd week of June. Still a lot of excavation to take place before the outline of the building will be seen. Second crane in a couple of weeks.
