So much admiration of the formers and cribbers.

This is definitely not easy to do for the rebar boys. I just wish they had a better tie-off points than what is seen here for their harnesses. The one in the middle lucked out.

And they are now doing the wall penetration

I'm so glad how it is finally taking shape and we can see the form of the building.

The Art Gallery roof in the 1st picture kinda reminds me of a storm trooper helmet

This doesn't even come close. One word "DUB"

I wonder how they are coming along, I would imagine more visible progress?
Anyone have an update?

 

[archited]

My contention is still that the foot-dragging relates to building wall and roof elements that are custom-made and need to be imported from ???

Edmonton district energy system scaled back from original plans, but will still cost more

"It's now estimated to cost 27 per cent more to build: $35.9 million up from the $28.2 million projected in February 2021...The project, under construction at 102A Avenue and 97th Street, was originally designed to generate heat and cool air from a natural gas plant. It's been reduced to heat only, a change city and Epcor project managers came up with last June, and included in the update to city council this week."

Oh Edmonton. Some of the quotes in here:

"It's not the same leading-edge, energy-efficient thing that we were trying to get to,"

and

"Mayor Amarjeet Sohi also expressed reservations about the changes, but noted that administration is trying to get the private sector on board to make it more financially feasible."

So let me understand, this is another half-baked project by the geniuses at the city and despite knowing that this project will do half of what it was originally intended to do (ironically, which was to improve energy efficiency), the city still expects the private sector to buy in? "Hey private sector, we know this doesnt work like it was supposed to but we need to you to be onboard anyway so we can make it financially feasible."

Sounds very similar to how the city likes to spin doctor Botchford too. An energy efficiency project that isnt being executed how envisioned but we still need the private sector to believe in the vision.
