I don't know who is doing the shoring, but I will look for that info next time I go past. Other people on this thread might have more info (and/or a better memory) than me. I know that Stuart Olson was the general contractor for the condo parkade and I don't think they are doing any more work at the site.
That does remind me though... last spring I was talking to one of the foremen doing the shoring for the condo parkade. He said that this was the "first time ever" shotcrete was used in a project in Saskatoon, and that they had to bring in equipment and crews from Edmonton to do it. I have no idea if that's actually true.
When I went past today it looked to me like they were just finishing the 13th floor pour. They were cleaning the mobile concrete pump (it can be seen in the left part of the picture below). They were lifting a couple buckets of concrete up with the crane. Maybe the pump could not reach the whole area? (I would have liked to see the pump in use). Either that or they were just starting the pour.
A couple of other notes:
- I went back in this thread and checked the hotel renderings. They show a recessed balcony on the east side of the hotel where the center "core" is (its a stairway... the elevators are on the south side).
- They are definitely removing the scaffold staircase from the south side of the condo.
- They are excavating along the east side of condo parkade... right where they just finished backfilling (I did not get a picture). I wonder if there is a problem?
