Was informed today by one of my clients (Active Fire and safety) that my services (coring) will be needed here beginning next month. He mentioned it was a 44 floor project. Looking forward to the views

I know this cycle doesn't have a ton of tower cranes say for example the build out of Olympic Village pre Olympics. Thoughts anyone?

You had a nice row of jibs in the same neighborhood back in 2012 and 2013.
I worked on The Mark, Maddox and The Salt. The Mordern by Amacon was also under construction.
This was the start of the post Olympic building frenzy.

Sounds great. Might be some great views next summer. Maybe Vancouver House will be done by then.

Wow thats a first I have ever seen a structural wall placed via shotcrete and not cast in place with conventional concrete pour

osirisboy · #48 Posted **Aug 29, 2019, 2:57 PM**

I think it's always done that way for perimeter underground levels

they shotcrete to allow the excavation to proceed and then depending on design leave a 2' or so gap and form a wall and after fill the void with drain rock after the wall is waterproofed. second option has been insulation and then pour a one side wall against the shotcrete or existing building.

Low velocity spayed concrete walls was also utilized at Burrard Place Office Tower.

I just read on reddit that the crane on site has developed a buckle in it.

On the jib

That explains the Howe st onramp being closed and traffic being rerouted onto Granville.

Big back-up of traffic on Howe.

WorkSafeBC is investigating after a crane in downtown Vancouver was damaged, disrupting traffic on Thursday morning.

The cause of the damage isn't yet known, but footage of the crane shows a section that appears to be bent.

The crane is at Howe and Drake streets downtown on a site operated by Onni Group.

Staff experienced issues with the crane on Thursday morning during a routine safety check, said Onni Group chief of staff Duncan Wlodarczak.

"As a precaution to ensure the safety of all site staff and nearby vehicle traffic and pedestrians, the site was immediately shut down," he said in an emailed statement.

"The street was closed until a full assessment of the crane could be completed."

Wlodarczak said the company notified the City of Vancouver as soon as the damage was discovered. Safety officers with WorkSafeBC are investigating.

"The site and road will reopen once it is confirmed the crane and the area is safe," said Wlodarczak.
