14 Princess St, Waterloo Developer: Brad Marsland Architects: ABA Architect 7 story apartment building with three levels of underground parking Re: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl| Apartment - Spokes - 09-10-2014 Waterloo’s only bowling lanes set to close May 11, 2013 | CTV Kitchener | LINK Quote:The very first pins to be knocked down at Waterloo Bowling Lanes happened back in 1949. From that moment on, it has played host to countless birthday parties, first dates and late night games. Last pin falls on Princess Street May 14, 2013 | Jordan Ercit | Waterloo Chronicle | LINK Quote:“It’s a local tradition, like the Harmony Lunch,” he said.

Nothing new has happened, but with the building torn down and only the basement foundation remaining, it's quite obvious how much less work will need to be done when it comes to excavation. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Markster - 10-01-2014 The former Waterloo Lanes has some very active construction taking place today.

RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - BuildingScout - 05-08-2015 This place is using old style wooden forms for concrete: RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - Spokes - 05-09-2015 Is this method going out of style? I was under the impression that One Victoria used this technique as well RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - BuildingScout - 05-09-2015 (05-09-2015, 09:56 AM)Spokes Wrote: Is this method going out of style?

RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - rangersfan - 05-09-2015 I got some photos of this project Friday morning, when I get a chance I will post them.

Precast concrete or at least ICF both of which are superior. RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - Spokes - 05-11-2015 Obviously faster, but what are other benefits? RE: Princess Condominiums | ?m | 7 fl | Proposed - BuildingScout - 05-11-2015 (05-11-2015, 06:44 AM)Spokes Wrote: Obviously faster, but what are other benefits? (1) Concrete is rather sensitive to curing conditions. While nothing unsafe happens outdoors, properly temperature and humidity controlled cured concrete shows increased strength and lower permeability. (2) There are decreases in quality when the concrete sits too long in the mixing truck. This is regulated so there is an expiry time for a load of concrete. If you use the load just within the time limit this is still safe, but nonetheless weaker concrete. (3) The rebar placement shows less errors. My numbers are rather old, but I recall studies during demolition showing that a non negligible amount of rebar was out of place or improperly secured at cross members. ICF has guides that make sure rebar is where it is supposed to be, precast concrete is done at eye level in an enclosed facility usually with standard forms, so the probability of error is even lower. (4) Less errors of alignment. You'd be surprised the number of walls which aren't true to the vertical. (5) ICF: higher insulation factor. |
