Today we are using a hydraulic crane to spread all of the steel joists for the sixth floor.

Manitoba Hydro is installing underground power lines for the building. In a short time The Renaissance will be fully energized.

Today we are pouring the North half of the sixth floor slab, amidst the fog. Large propane heaters are placed on the floor below to generate heat which will allow the concrete to cure without freezing.
