First shoring rig arrives at Junction House

Our first shoring rig was delivered and setup today at Junction House. A second one is on the way shortly.

It will take a couple of months to complete all of our caisson piles. If you’d like to learn about how shoring is constructed, check out this “explainer” from UrbanToronto.

It was also an absolutely beautiful day here in Toronto — not a cloud in the sky. So here are a few photos from site.

    Cool pics! How common is it to utilize a caisson foundation wall in the Toronto area? Do any buildings switch over to a slurry wall and do you know what would drive a developer & engineer to do so?
