SKULL_KRUSHER is right. Each post-tensioning bar is 3 inches in diameter. High strength grout will be pumped from the lower location until it starts weeping out through the top location several floors above. Then you know the bars are fully sealed with grout. The bumps that you see in the silver sheathing is where the coupler that joins two bars is located. Just a trivia: This is the 3rd high-rise structure (including CN Tower) in Canada to have post-tensioned walls.
Interesting that this tower has the post-tensioning.
Vancouver House had it because it was a severely lopsided design.
I guess that it's just the extreme height and issues with sway?

To my understanding that when this building is built to its proposed Chi Town height, it will be the 2nd tallest human made structure in this country next to the CN Tower. But one that will contain 105 floors of residents and their furniture. And since they're not using any hybrid steel and concrete method as done with The One at its base, they're going to have find extra strength needed from somewhere to sustain this all. And yes, they will likely be swaying.
 
The rec centre has a soft opening June 17 and 18.
