This week cladding on the lower floors has begun to be visible. The cladding is pre-cast with brick facing. Prior to the pre-cast cladding being installed, a layer of insulation is placed on the sealed concrete surface of the exterior wall. Installation on the lower floors of the building will be ongoing.
The colder temperatures expected on today will likely result in a shortened workday. Recent milder weather has enabled significant progress to be made on on the 7th and the initial sections of the 8th floor. Work will continue next week, weather permitting, on slab floor, wall and column concrete pouring and finishing.
