Some site activity. Looks like removal of contaminated soil, and also a pile driver

Photos by me, 10 minutes ago.

You beat me to the pile driver picture Chadillaccc! This is crazy exciting, can't wait for the action to begin!

A pile driver on site is always a good sign. I would expect that they will have at least three going at once once this starts.

My My!! those are really big bags that they are putting the fill into. I guess that's a lot quicker than toting this fill out in 1 gallon buckets!!

But - why the bags???

Innsertnamehere · #**226** Posted **Sep 29, 2013, 8:33 PM**

contaminated soil probably.

Design-mind · #**227** Posted **Sep 29, 2013, 8:52 PM**

Some of the action onsite this weekend.

Forgot a photo...

By gosh.... I think this baby is going to go!

Bigtime · #**230** Posted **Sep 30, 2013, 1:16 PM**

Thanks for the great update pics DM!

Deepstar · #**231** Posted **Sep 30, 2013, 6:07 PM**

Two pile drivers now!! Hella good

Chadillaccc · #**232** Posted **Oct 1, 2013, 3:24 PM**

Under Construction.

Surrealplaces · #**233** Posted **Oct 1, 2013, 5:31 PM**

Looks like this is a go. Not surprising either as sources had indicated a September start.

Exciting times ahead.

Are these drill rigs for installation of soldier piles or caissons?

Calgarian · #**235** Posted **Oct 1, 2013, 7:54 PM**

Caissons.

I've moved this back to proposals as those are piles to support a retaining wall not the building on grade. This one is still several months off being technically U/C.

If I'm wrong I'll move it back... but I never am.

No - Say this: " If I'm wrong - I'll deny I said it!! "

I THINK that works every time - if I'm wrong - well you know!!!

It'll be a while before we see a crane. Good to see equipment rolled onto site though

Is anyone worried that the demand for new office space in Calgary might be drying up soon? Is there a need for such an office tower? We already have City Centre coming online in the foreseeable future...is this needed? Without an anchor tenant, I might have some doubts.
