Rebar & formwork install continues at the final section of the south foundation wall

During the weekend of January 30th

  • Crews will be on site Saturday to continue to install rebar and formwork at various locations for the tower’s foundation and core systems.

During the week of February 1st

  • The installation of site drainage infrastructure will occur at the east edge of the site, between the new building and Sargent College. Following the completion of utilities, rebar and formwork will be installed for the bike shelter foundation.
  • The installation of the duct tunnel will continue in the podium and work towards the tower. A duct tunnel consists of ductwork encased in concrete (forming the tunnel) below the finish slab in the basement. Once the duct tunnel is installed, the finish slab will be installed on top. Preparations will continue for the installation of under-slab ductwork including formwork, reinforcing, and concrete.
  • Rebar and formwork installation will continue at the exterior foundation walls and the core for the tower. Concrete placements of these areas will continue in sections as the rebar installation progresses. The focus for the week is on the remaining sections of foundation walls at the south and west walls of the tower. Following last week’s concrete placement of the core to the 2nd floor, crews will start removing the formwork and reinstalling it. This activity is part of the climbing formwork system. Crews will also continue to install rebar for the next level.
  • Please be aware of all directional signage, as pedestrian travel paths may be altered. We will continue to provide you with up-to-date information via these notifications.
