Thanks!

Wow, perfect angle and great view overall. Look at all the ice in the reflecting pool at 1500 Georgia.

mcminsen...Same reaction I had. Knew I was working near this project, then was pleased by the angle it gave us. Owner of the suite tells me he'll need me back in the future.

This is fast! That's a very good sign.

We have reached bottom. About 70 feet, 6 levels of parking.

Using a Clamshell Bucket to finish this dig.

Amazing! Installing the cistern and crane base is next.

Its going to be something to see this one take shape above ground.

This and the Butterfly will be unreal.

Nice, Keep the updates coming on this dig. I'm looking to capture the egress of these excavators. By the looks of it, maybe within a week. I keep missing these heavy lift

Go to ~2:15 (view full screen!) to see why protective head gear is required anywhere on a site like this, especially in the pit. And the recovery at ~4:10.

The look on his face, he was disappointed in himself.

Zepfancouver · #**256** Posted **May 10, 2019, 9:24 PM**

I don't see excavator egress for another week or two.

Galaxy · #**257** Posted **May 10, 2019, 11:29 PM**

With the tight square site shape hopefully, we will get 2 luffing cranes on this site!

On 1568 Alberni in #yvr, we've completed excavation and shoring on the bottom 2 levels
of the 8-level underground parking garage. Excavation for sumps and footing has begun,
and foundation wall waterproofing is well underway!
