It looks like extension pieces for the concrete pump tower.

I think you are right. Whatever it is, it is blue in colour.

...I guess I'll have to wait for @Contra to drop another of his vector diagram updates so I can count the floors properly. It's amazing how easy is for me to lose track of counting such. /sigh

We just moved so my life is about as chaotic as the structural rebar on this one....however a diagram update will happen soon!

I notice that a lot of the rebar sticking up from this last set of walls is ‘hooked’ rather than sticking straight up, like on previous floors. Does that possibly indicate a change of structure for the next floor? I often see rebar finished like that when it won‘t carry on to the next level.

One can imagine if they're not planning to include those walls above then that it would make it getting to the next levels up a lot quicker.

Is... is this going up quicker? Is it actually going... up?

I'm just about in disbelief.

The plans show the walls continuing as is up through the hotel floors (level 16) and up to 48.

I agree but perhaps for some floors they change the rebar patterns, e.g. adding more lateral strength? It is interesting to follow and observe, definitely more interesting than anything on TV nowadays.

The real mark of upward progress is when they will need to raise the tower crane which I believe will be for the first time since it was re-erected to its current position to climb along on the south exterior side of the tower. That should be coming soon.

I know it must be an optical illusion but that super column looks crooked!

 

[Contra]

I think my February column heights were a little off (very hard to judge how hight they get with no floor references...). However I think this should be accurate. Not taller, but definitely more floors built!

Amazing as always, @Contra. Though I believe we do have 1 change from this. The top of the Koala super columns have already been covered up and another section of floor and the next level's wall has been poured above it.

So I believe that the top wall and super-column forms that you have rendered in your Apr 28 picture have to be moved up by one level.

I'm pretty bad at explaining this, so I made this below to see if it helps. Honestly, I might be way off base, and apologies if this is completely incorrect.

Good catch - shows what happens when I don't pay attention for over a month!

Here's the updated drawing, all credit to @fanoftoronto!

...with that, I am now counting up to 9 floors being worked on/completed.
