You mean the core is at grade.

Or the core's forms.

I can't believe the tower portion's already close to grade. That pit was massive. Guess they can start rising above grade soon while completing the rest of the non-tower parkade sections.

Ok- to my understanding "at grade" means you can step off the sidewalk onto the permanent structure. To my eye, don't think we are quite there...

Mine from today.

Pouring the bottom ramp today.

Calgary is on a roll. I'll be out there for a few weeks in January and hope to take some photos.

Do they slow down in winter? Or is construction full speed ahead?

Man, doing concrete in the winter must —

Full speed ahead. If it gets colder than -15 (I think) they have to heat cover the concrete so it cures properly.

Except that early snow in September, it's been an amazing fall for construction. Not surprised at all that they were ahead of schedule.

Doing concrete — regardless of the time of year.

This is going to be steel with a concrete core a la the Bow, right? I always liked those pictures of Bow's massive steel structure rising up in the skyline.

The Bow didn't have a concrete core.
