That's just a fact, our tiny one way streets simply cant accommodate a line of 5 or 10 trucks and trailers for each development.

Whats the point of not running a conveyor full stop? Where is your time savings benefit? You might as well stick to the double excavator set up.

I think our downtown streets can accommodate a lot more dump trucks. It isn't normally that congested around the Burrard Place job site.

Missed the heavy lift today. Oh well, I'll try to catch the next one (Grosvenor Pacific).

I’m just being practical here...

Dump truck pulls up. Excavator is ready to go in the pit with a pile of dirt next to it. Turn on the conveyor belt and load dirt onto belt until truck is full. Truck leaves, belt is turned off, gives excavator time to form a new pile of dirt next to the conveyor belt for another load when another truck arrives.

As opposed to loading an excavator bucket with another excavator bucket and then loading the dump truck with that second excavator

The grid on this corner is starting to emerge more clearly (my picture, today).

Thanks for the pics! Looks like this will be the tower to watch in 2019. (Maybe the Kumo Tower as well depending on how fast it gets above grade).

2020 will be The Butterfly and The Stack I am guessing.

Zepfancouver · #**1213** Posted **Jan 7, 2019, 6:00 AM**

Nice update mcminsen

Has the Jenga Tower started excavation yet??

Either way this is our tower entertainment for 2019.

Guessing the final Station Square Tower in Metrotown will also largely be erected in 2020?

Nope. At least not that I saw the last time I was around that area. That small one storey retail building is still there.
