Looks like Andrew Dice Clay...

On a project of this scale, a fairly intensive site investigation program is typically completed. This will give advance knowledge of the sub surface conditions to allow early assessment and pricing of excavation, shoring, foundation options/design, and should address details of the groundwater condition for drainage and envelope issues. Accordingly, I expect that the presence of the blue/clay was anticipated.

Very good

They  did test drills throughout the site as is done on all these large projects. they new all along what the site consisted of below the surface

Well, I guess it's official now. Save-Ons will be moving into 1008 Pandora.

 

Save-On-Foods to open downtown Victoria grocery store
http://victoria.citi...-grocery-store/

 

B.C.-based grocery chain Save-On-Foods will be the anchor tenant at an upcoming downtown Victoria mixed-use rental and commercial development at Pandora Avenue and Vancouver Street, Citified has learned.

 

Set to occupy approximately 35,000 square feet of retail space at BlueSky Properties' 1008 Pandora project – a six-storey, 195-unit purpose-built rental building with some 50,000 square feet of commercial space – Save-On-Foods will become the downtown core's first full-size grocery store at twice the floor space of its nearest competitor, the Market on Yates.

I would have preferred "Quality Foods" but at least it's competition for The Market on Yates.

No News .

I am thinking the tenant will be either Quality or Save On
Save owns a piece of Quality Jim invested in the company gave them a boost a few years ago.
We are still a long way out ground is still being broken onsite,

there you go

OK, Wellburns, you've had a 3 years to get your act together, and now you have a name to attach to the space. 

 

I do not expect much.  Despite having a lower price on almost all items, the Market on Yates continues to outsell Wellburns by at least a 10-1 margin I'd bet.

Well at least now when Wellburns finally goes under, they have a convenient evil corporate scapegoat.

Bedrock is now visible beside the north face - east side and they are getting ready to blast deeper in that area. A crane base has been poured on bedrock beside the east face.

2 cranes are going in this site

And you thought you were having a bad day.

Thanks for the photo, Daniel!

With the state of the muck at this site I am surprised this hasn't happened before.

[Bingo]

Before?  

That is the same machine that was there further back in this thread on March 13th.

It will probably be there until a crane lifts it out, which will be tricky because of the suction created by the wet clay.

Well it was the first I saw this picture, so it was news to me.

My picture of the stuck machine is post 1592, and your post 8 minutes later is 1593 and your post is right under the picture.

My picture of the stuck machine is post 1592...

 

Big deal. Show me a picture of the stuck machine pre 1592 and we'd really have something interesting.

Probably what they were saying during construction of the Alaska Highway in Northern BC
