The dockwall at the
Portland Slip next to the
Canada Malting silos is the latest improvement to the award-winning Water's Edge Promenade currently under construction by
Waterfront Toronto and its construction manager, Eastern Construction.
Last week, according to Waterfront Toronto's newsletter, crews have been "driving sheet steel pilings to provide structural support for the dockwall. This work requires crews to take columns of wood, steel or concrete and drive them into the ground along the length of the dockwall."
Waterfront Toronto expected this phase of the work to be done by this past week, after which, work on the steel framing will begin.
Once complete, the promenade will have granite pavestones in a red and grey maple leaf mosaic, like the promenade that currently connects Sugar Beach and Sherbourne Common.
The promenade is expected to open in the spring of 2012.
