This was a big week for construction progress at One Delisle. On Friday, we poured the first bit of our raft slab foundation on the west side of the site. Big concrete pours like this usually take all day and this case was no different. The team was there late into the evening. And then today, the first of our two tower cranes was erected:
The crane going up is always a big milestone because, in my mind, it signals the start of “real” construction. What I mean by this is that all of the stuff that comes before — demolition, shoring, and excavation — is really just to get the site ready for building. Well, now we’re ready, and that means we’re about to go vertical.
A big thanks to the team for working around the clock over the last few days.
