Work on July 18 involves the first major concrete pour for the station foundation.
Approximately 110 trucks will pour more than 1,000 cubic meters of concrete during the day, with additional pours over the coming months.
For each major pour, set up on site will begin around 5:00 a.m., with the first concrete trucks arriving at 6 a.m. The concrete pour is scheduled until 10 p.m. with low noise work continuing overnight to finish related activities.

110 trucks. There has to be a far far more effiencent way to poor massive amount of concrete than large trucks. Setup a plant at tunnel entrance and then bring the components through the tunnel and mix on site. far more effective in my opinion.

The stations need to be ready before the TBM breaks through so that wouldn't work.

Long layover... when drilling again. Sigh.

When I looked yesterday, it appeared that the spoil conveyer belt was being used as a shelf for peoples' garbage. Gave the impression that it might be a while.

They're doing the Oak-VGH pour soon so you assume the TBM will launch soon.

Closest thing to an update last week

"We expect the TBMs will break through at the future Oak-VGH Station later this summer."

I assume they've now finished pouring the base for Broadway-City Hall Station?

TBMs are in the same position today.

Underground between GNW-Emily Carr and Mount Pleasant Stations, crews have started pouring concrete inside the tunnels.

In this photo, the tunnel is prepped for the 2 concrete pours needed to create a platform for SkyTrain tracks.

Hmm that is gif speed 100, maybe a bit slow, especially for something that doesn't change that much. I could go with 80 next time.

Are you using a script to grab the daily image?

Thanks for doing this Jimbo604, I know it's a bit of work.

I edit your gif with a beginning and end reference and sped up.

Plus: Building a walk way. Minus: blocks the pit view.

Also wonder what's going to happen with Shell station. If anything.

Maddog: Just click download every day.

Zep: Cool, how do you make the intro/out-tro? Is that a makeagif paid-user feature?

No it's not, MakeaGif does not have that feature. You can triple (or more) the first and last image of the gif to have almost the same effect.
I converted your gif into a video file using a Free Trial of https://www.videoproc.com/ then used Corel VideoStudio 2020 to edit.
I use the free version of MakeaGif, no app to download just sigh up, the max length of a gif is 20 second, which keeps me at bay
