Phase 2 Membrane Replacement Project

Project Mobilization Date: July 20, 2026
Work Start Date: May 4, 2026 (for emergency repairs) 
Expected completion: December 2026
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/

Weather: 26°C, mostly sunny
Workers onsite: At least five

Work done today:

  • Completion of removal of pavers in area of parking lot adjacent to 244 building
  • Removal of sand from the same area (new sand is used due to contamination and other issues with existing sand)
Are stripped of pavers and most sand. Water is from a shower that passed over shortly before the shot was taken.
Similar shot, but looking to the west.
NOTE: The workers were here well past their usual time. I don't have insider information, but I believe what happened is they needed to have the (very large) amount of sand removed tonight so they could begin stripping the old membrane tomorrow and the dump truck arrived late for reasons unknown.
