All of the basement is covered. For some reason they took away part of the covered sidewalk on the Frederick Street side.

Probably the specialised delivery of a particular item that needs extra clearance. Just a guess, mind you.

Not sure what's happening here today, but Frederick is closed between Duke and Weber. Plus there is a line of trucks down Duke to Scott and some on Frederick as well.

Yikes. They're ripping up Frederick Street. Another road closure is not what this neighbourhood needs...

They ate tying in the water and sewage which is why they took down some of the hoarding

Hopefully not a long closure

That’s what it looks like. Frederick is closed but only a small area was dug up. They’re digging deeper close to the work site.

Does anyone know what that tall white object is for? Sewage and/or water? It was erected on Monday when they started to dig up parts of Frederick.

It's a placing boom. Crane like structure to pump concrete instead of using a bucket. Pump will sit on the street and go through piping up the building.

Is there any specifics on the height of this building (in meters/feet) or at least an estimate? I tried to look but 46 pages is a lot to go through.

Thanks. I was curious as I wanted to visualize what this will look like once completed. This building is less than half a meter shy of 128 meters. The Duke Tower building is really going to dominate the skyline for quite a while.

Having said that the dtk will still have a significant presence on the skyline. Just wish it was of a bit better design.(10-25-2019, 07:56 PM)Square Wrote: According to this link 128 meters.

Just noticed the ramp to the parking areas. Cars come in off Frederick Street and head towards the church to the ramp. You can also see the ramp going up by Duke Street.
