REM is a (brand of) metro. I think you mean “a train.” 130 km between cities needs a standard intercity train, not a metro.

Not by that much. The planned one-line in Seattle/Tacoma/Everett is ~102km. Some S-bahn lines in Germany are about 90km. I agree it's the wrong type of train (an ICE would be ideal), but it's not that much of a stretch to use a REM with elevated crossings, even to Gatineau/Ottawa.

The economy of scale kicks in and having them fully integrated in the Opus helps the logistics.

La




vue est assez impressionnante aussi. Ca fait plus N-Y que MTL de ce point de vue la. Pour référence, ceci est la vue du bureau de N-Y:

Le siège social ressemble plus a Laval que le reste des campus...

Je suis curieux, c'est où à San Francisco ? Certainement à quelques minutes à pied du centre-ville comme Griffintown. 

Je vis a San-Francisco en ce moment. Cette image est l’équivalent de Villeray. C'est pas centrale et ca date d'apres l'age d'or des triplex. Ceci dit, c'est assez commun d'avoir des fils electrique comme ca meme dans les quartier beaucoup plus historique. A vancouver aussi. Construire quoi que ce soit a San-Francisco est vraiment difficile et il y a beaucoup de paperasse. Voici le resultat.

Quelqu'un a du nouveau sur ce projet ?

Si il y en avait, quelqu’un aurait fait une post. Mais retiens pas ton souffle. L'autre coop de la montagne a genre pris 10 ans. La dernere COOP / CHSLD de Griffintown a des rendus depuis 4 ans et pas une pelle de terre. Ce genre de projet est tres lent a sortir de terre.

WTF? What is that for? No foundations but a hole for elevators? Can someone enlighten me?

If you look at the previous picture, it's bedrock. So they don't need a foundation. Foundations are dug in Canada/Quebec to get below the the ground which freezes. It has to be because freeze/thaw cycle would crack the walls after a few years. But that only applies to actual soil. Here, the bedrock wont move much, if at all. So a simple slab is enough. Primary schools don't all have a basement. Mine didn't (built in brutalist style from in the 60's). When they built a condo block next to it, I can confirm the bedrock was like 2 feets from the surface. Same as this site. They used dynamite and it was pretty cool for a 7 years old to see this from the edges of the playground.

I suggest this video:

À ne pas confondre avec Place Bonaventure, le plus gros bunker de Montréal qui n'a même pas besoin d'être sous terre pour être pleinement efficace. En ces temps de bruit de guerre c'est à considérer

Works pretty well actually

There has been many attempts to destroy these things over the years. Most still stand because they ran out of budget trying to bring them down after the war. Place Bonaventure contains *a lot* of concrete too. The outer walls don't have enough to survive an indirect nuke stroke, but the superstructure has. I am not super certain about the foundations. It's built on pillars on top of rail lines. It goes to bedrock (because it sits near the surface on that site), but I don't know how strong the base slab is.

If I recall correctly, ages ago there was some pictures of the "old" station they built for the previous iteration of the REM (under the Marriott?). I can't find them anymore. Some old forum thread got deleted? Google don't return good results either.

Tout un remblai!

Il y a de faibles changes que ce soit due a ceci

This is a logistic choice. The site that would otherwise be totally surrounded if not for the access road to the bottom of the hole. For the tallest tower, they need the most raw material. So having this access road really allows them to bring material without a traffic jam and to store many days of material on site. It's a win-win really.

If they had built the from facing buildings first, they would leave the site fully surrounded and many it logistically challenging to build the tower.

It was just a normal flight from Vancouver actually. The angle if perfect for photos. You arrive from over Mont-Tremblant insstead of the south like Toronto/US-East flights. Plus, it was 6pm, so the sun was directly behind the plane
