Tunnel Fit Out: Invert Pour Stage 2

• Workers install welded mesh which functions like rebar to help reinforce the next layer of concrete

• Higher strength concrete is poured to provide the flat track slab for the rail tracks• Workers spread the concrete, and a truss screed machine vibrates it into a perfectly level

Laird Station Update

16

Laird Station: What to Expect

24 Hour Mining

• Mining operations are included in the 2010 Toronto Transit Project Noise By-Law Exemption to allow for tunneling and related work to occur 24 hours a day.

• A robust noise reduction plan based on major international projects such as the Boston Big Dig, Crossrail in London and the Thames Tideway Tunnel has been developed to minimize impacts on the local community.

– Implement noise reduction measures at the station construction sites

– Continually monitor noise and vibration throughout construction

– Adjust noise reduction measures at the construction sites as required

– If necessary, consider additional measures for residences in potentially sensitive zone

– Ensure proactive communications with the community before and during construction
