Yep they are the same interior forms (Red ones) as Canada Line. Inside clearance is 5055, Outside is 6255.
Caternary is 4365 above TOR.

so how far is the truss launcher now?is it at the sunalta station?

It's getting close.

Pre-Cast concrete erection is underway on the 69th Street Parkade. It’s pretty cool how this is being put together with everything built off site and put together on location…just like Lego. The columns show just how tall the parkade is going to be, I for one am of the opinion that it will look just fine in the area (I live in the area west of 69th

).

Some pics below.

Looks similar to the parkade that was just finished at MRU.

Are they having problems with the high water table at Westbrook? Many pumps working OT there it seems.

high water table + 3 months of rain + burst stormwater pipe = pumps working OT...

As I thought. The on-site treatment plant is working OT as well.

Anyone know what's being built next to the private academy off 17th just past 69th? I'm not talking about the parkade. It used to be an acreage and now it's been cleared and covered with gravel. The corner nearest the school has forms in place for concrete.

mersar · #**1289** Posted **Sep 21, 2010, 3:25 AM**

For someone who asked the other day, the guideway is about 5 segments from Sunalta Station as of the weekend.

a friend of mine who is a (soon to be former) Sunalta resident has been watching the truss launcher progress towards his balcony on what seems like a collision course. He is quite enamored of it. He started a facebook group.
