Construction on KESKUS continues

Update #174

The basement interior at the front of the 125+ year old heritage wing of KESKUS – a delicate, lonely business underpinning the grand dame and a stark contrast to the excavation equipment roaring away behind and beside the house.
The basement interior at the front of the 125+ year old heritage wing of KESKUS – a delicate, lonely business underpinning the grand dame and a stark contrast to the excavation equipment roaring away behind and beside the house.

Underpinning of the heritage house continues from both the inside and the outside of the structure. Having hit heavy clay, it continues to be quite the job, but the first lift is done and the second and third lifts in the rear and side of the house should be completed in the next weeks.

With a tight site, moving equipment around becomes an intricate dance. Were you at the ceremonial groundbreaking last year? If so, the last of the parking lot asphalt on which we then stood, protected the subway tunnels, is now getting removed and advancing excavation considerably!

This brings us closer to Phase II of construction, read more about the project on the www.estoniancentre.ca/news-events blog.
