The Germain (the hotel) is being buit via a slurry wall. A new stlye of construction for calgary. I think they are doing a simialr function to hydrovacing but filling the hole with concrete. Then they will excvate and teh entire pit will already be shored up with concrete.

Hope that helps. |
Thanks for the help, thats kind of what I thought for both of them. You can see the drilling/anchor machine but thats it. They must concrete in small sections.
The slurry one seems kind of interesting, although slower. That construction site is much tighter and probably cant get away with a big ramp or shutting down roads. It seems quite tedious actually. Are they required to use something like that if they are near historical buildings and such??
I figured the dump, but wasnt sure if they needed the fill for some other project.
