Downtown the curb is doing two jobs: holding the asphalt edge against constant turning, and separating a loading area from a public sidewalk that never closes. We form to the line that already exists rather than the one that would be convenient.
Walkways on these sites are usually the accessible route as well as the path, so level and fall matter more than finish. We set the grades before pouring, because a route that fails inspection has to come out.
We pour the concrete and lay the asphalt with the same crew, so the joint between them is planned. On a site with no lay-down space, that also means one mobilisation instead of three.
Downtown sites almost never have lay-down space, so material timing matters as much as the pour itself. We schedule deliveries to the hour and keep the public sidewalk open throughout, because closing it is rarely an option anyone will grant.
We handle concrete work across Toronto — including The Annex, Leslieville, Riverdale, Forest Hill, The Beaches, and Liberty Village, and the streets and properties around the CN Tower, the Gardiner Expressway, and the Distillery District.
