Crack repairs in the underground parking, March 16-19, 2026

UPDATE: This post originally stated the work would be complete on March 18. It has been corrected to Thursday, March 19.

I’m a bit late on posting this, but several people have asked about it, so here is the update:

Crack repairs related to Phase 1 of the membrane project are currently taking place in the underground parking below the 244 building. A large area has been cordoned off and plastic sheets have been put up to contain dust and debris while the concrete slab is drilled. When drilling is complete, the crack will be filled with a concrete-like mixture that will prevent leaks from above.

The work should be completed on Thursday, March 19. Owners who had vehicles in the affected area were notified, I am not sure why a general notice of work was not made to all residents.

You can just see some of the plastic sheeting on the left side of the photo below, which shows the contractor’s vehicle.

The original crack was sealed from above with Kryton Krystol but was not covered in plastic and never cured properly. Rather than fixing it, Prostar and Strata Engineering opted to continue with work on the membrane installation, thus requiring the more expensive repair from below.

Here is a shot of the crack a few days after it was filled with the Kryton Krystol, from November 14, 2025. Most of the crack is submerged under rain water and the repair material is already breaking away.

Phase 1 Membrane Project: Courtyard has been mostly cleared

UPDATE. February 27, 2026: Added photos.

With work essentially complete on Phase 1 of the membrane project, WCI was on hand today removing all material from the central courtyard. The only items left behind are the port-a-potty (which is unlocked and ready for pick-up) and the C-can.

The central courtyard has now been cleaned of all material:

Phase 1 Membrane Project, Day 140 (February 23, 2026)

Phase 1 Membrane Replacement Project

Project Mobilization Date: August 11, 2025
Work Start Date: August 28, 2025
Expected duration: 2–3 months (Completion TBD)
Owner updates: Phase 1 Membrane Project Official Updates
Calendar of days worked: August 2025 to February 2026
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/

Weather: 9C, clouds and sun

No work onsite today. The biweekly meeting took place onsite.

The membrane project has reached a point where I can choose one of two paths going forward:

  • Stop providing updates until certain key decisions are made.
  • Continue to provide updates where I’m pretty much saying, “Nothing is happening.”

I am going with the first option above–I will keep tracking the days until Phase 1 is officially declared complete, but it seems, barring extraordinary circumstances, nothing more will be done apart from addressing a few lingering deficiencies, so the daily updates will stop.
