Sounds like they lost their injunction.

TBM locking the final subway tunnel ring for the Eglinton Crosstown West. Quite some details about the TBM segments manufacturing process starting from the factory in Whitby.

It's interesting that they test samples of every single segment.

Unlikely. The common practice is to take sample from every mix, each mix could be used to cast multiple segments.

Went for a wee visit to Renforth Station.... Took some of the closeout of the tunnel entrance work.

Pretty irrelevant, not the LRT platform pictured.

Been a bit since my last update of the Scarlett Rd portal and station. The roof of the TBM shaft has been completed, I think it was just waterproofed (with tar by the smell of it).

As well (no photos) the track bed of the portal ramp appears to be about a metre below the current access road (between the chainlink fences in the picture below), which I assume means the site access road will be removed before construction of the viaduct and station

Bonus: a little cameo from a celebrity building

Spoiler

The One is now visible from just east of Scarlett Road (and at the top of the stairs on the NW corner, but I didn't get a photo from there. Should be a good view of downtown from Scarlett station once completed.

I've seen the presentation, the changed approach to the restoration design on ECWE vs other projects is one I hope they carry forwards.
