Continuous concrete pours and heavy crane work will continue to be permitted overnight throughout Toronto, On-Site reported, but will be subject to new restrictions beginning October 1.

The Residential Construction Council of Ontario via CISION said the amendment could have threatened more than 7,000 jobs and would have added months or years to high-rise construction timelines. As enacted, it is a compromise between some councilors’ efforts for a blanket ban on construction work after 7 p.m.Image credit: Pixabay.To read the full transcript of today's podcast, visit: elevatorworld.com/newsSubscribe to the Podcast: iTunes│Google Play|SoundCloud│Stitcher│TuneIn9 min
