I've been wondering that too. I think this must be the largest amount of soil removed from a single excavation in Toronto's history possibly. Scotia was big, Shangri-la was big. Maybe FCP or TD Centre might have been larger?
We have a new front page story up here, where you can watch the rather substantial amount of work going on here at the moment in video form where cranes swan about, hammers crack rock, and shovels move it around…
and there are some other recent pics in that story too, but there are more here, first from a couple days ago:
I was toured through a construction site once where the concrete third floor of the building had been skim-coated one day, last thing before the workers went home for the evening. When they got back in next morning, there were racoon tracks everywhere, embedded in the floor like they'd had a gigantic party just before the skim-coat set overnight.
So… racoons can create trouble in ways you'd never expect!
