The depth of the parkade is likely far below inverts of san and storm services, maybe a central sump that everything drains into before getting pumped up into the gravity mains?

Maybe watermains in the area are not sufficient for peak hours and they have to pump off peak hours into the storage for an on site reservoir?

Winter Garden roof getting closer to being enclosed, also the parkade floor concrete has started.

I have been informed by those that should know. The tanks are ground water cisterns.

Generator fuel tanks will be much higher up the structure.
And based on EFD inspections of late they will be quite close to street level.

Socguy · #**7165** Posted **May 22, 2015, 8:15 PM**

Does anyone know what the upper most level is going to be? Is it general seating? From the diagrams I've searched it would almost seem to be boxes of some kind.

Coldrsx · #**7166** Posted **May 22, 2015, 8:25 PM**

200 level seating except at one end there is a 2 level sport lounge with general admin if you will.

Socguy · #**7167** Posted **May 22, 2015, 8:42 PM**

Ah, thanks

Much above grade

Looks like they're getting ready to raise the north 1/3 of the main roof truss maybe in a day or so.

Just looking at it on the ground it still takes a few minutes to realized how massive that thing is. Of course, it's mind boggling to think about how much weight it's going to have to bear over a clear span year in and year out!

bulliver · #**7178** Posted **May 25, 2015, 2:56 AM**

Today.

craner · #**7179** Posted **May 25, 2015, 5:32 AM**

Great shots bulliver.

Airboy · #**7180** Posted **May 25, 2015, 3:51 PM**

Love your second shot Bul.
