I'll bet that that is one whole piece. That'd explain the crane change. The tower cranes would NEVER be able to handle such loads --- especially further out on the boom. (It could be made of several pieces though.)

We'll see.

I just found out that each panel weighs 45,000 lbs (22.5 tons); . . . 'much too heavy for the tower cranes to handle.

It's several from what i saw on the construction cam. Frame by frame, you can see that section slowly rise.

Many. They are incredibly heavy, it takes one flatbed trailer to carry one piece. There are about 6 trailers lined up beside practice field waiting to unload.

SkydivePilot · #**3284** Posted **Jul 16, 2015, 7:02 PM**

Each piece is 22.5 tons then. That's impressive!

Does anyone know where these pre-cast pieces are being manufactured? It would be a shame if all of this work is coming from outside the Province.

I think they are being made here. My evidence is that all the flatbeds have SK licence plates.
But I could be completely out to lunch as well.

They are being made at Souris Valley Industries in Weyburn, Sask.

What a fantastic contract for them. Great to know. Thanks.

They sure are flying them in there quick! There are a lot of trucks waiting. I wouldn't be surprised to see the east side done within the week at the current rate (the the seating tiers anyway)

Also when I was watching a few weeks back watching them crane lower sections into place there were two / truck. This appears to still be the case.

So the panels behind the Elphinstone street main sign are glass...

'Drove around periphery of it today, and it's evolving into one bigass facility!

Most of the upper deck of the west side has now been flown into place. Including the tunnel entrances. I expect they should be done that by the end of the week! Looking great!
