I don't know how long this has been up but I was down by the brow at sam Lawrence park this mornign and noticed a tower crane sitcking up what looked to be in the area around Kenilworth and Burlington Street. I know it was not the crane at the water treatment plan it was way too far west.

Just tought I would mention it. Im not sure if anyone knows what it is.

It's for a Dofasco building between Ottawa and Kenilworth. Not sure what they're building, I'm guessing some kind of warehouse. It is nice to see expansion there though. You can see it more properly from Barton at Centre Mall.

Thanks for the update, That was a pretty good guess on mybehalf considering where I was, It actually took me a little by surprise seeing a crane there,

I guess this mean we have 12 tower cranse throught the city.

5 at St Joes mental health center, 1 at the columbia college residents on sanitorium. 1 at urban west 1 at stay bridge 1 at city square(reportedly) this dofasco one and pretty sure there are 12 at waste water plant.

Thats good news.

I think they were dismantling a crane at St. Joe's on the mountain today...the sign of good progress...the place is really coming along nicely.

I went buy at 9:15 and all 5 were that, Im glad I got some shots this morning of that grouping before they took one down.

I couldn't see what was going on because this crane is surrounded by building on every side. So all I got where pictures of the crane.

I still don't know what this is but you can see it from a far distance away.

Photo's by me from Friday March 23, 2012.

"The Finishing Optimization
Project (FOP) is a $186 million
investment in our Hamilton
operations to build a state-ofthe-
art heavy gauge galvanizing
centre, to be known as #6 Line,
convert a current Galvanize line
to Galvalume, as well as see a
new Temper Mill constructed.
...
#4 Galvalume and #6 Galvanize
Project Manager Elizabeth Shaw
says construction “broke
ground” on the foundation of the
tower for the new Galvanizing
line during the week of June 27.
A group of project members
were on site to mark the
occasion at the line located near
the corner of Ottawa Street and
Beach Road. The tower will be in
construction through the fall and
winter of 2011, while the
mechanical and electrical
equipment will be installed
starting in Q1 2012 and the
project is scheduled to be
completed in Q2 2013."
