Video: Making way for the new Parliament Welcome Centre
We’ve been blasting through bedrock to create a pit where we will build the new underground Parliament Welcome Centre in front of the Centre Block. Watch this video to learn about the work and see a time lapse.
Transcript of the video Making way for the new Parliament Welcome Centre
(Text on screen: Public Services and Procurement Canada)
[Text fades away to reveal image of parliament hill from behind. Grey triangles animate into a corner as text animates on.]
(Text on screen: The Centre Block is undergoing major renovations)
[The image switches to the excavation pit in front of Centre Block as controlled explosions are used to blast deeper. Three explosions are shown quickly beating to the music from various angles.]
[Parliament is shown as the image pans down to the open excavation pit, trucks and workers continue excavation. Grey triangles animate across the top of the screen.]
(Text on screen: We are building a new Parliament Welcome Centre)
[The image switches to a different angle of the pit showing more machines and workers excavating the pit.]
[A high-speed time lapse begins showing trucks and machines moving about frenetically as they continue excavation. The image moves quickly through weeks and months of excavation. The text above changes.]
(Text on screen: And we are building down!)
[The image switches to another angle of the pit. Trucks are shown being loaded with fill being removed.]
(Text on screen: Over 40,000 truckloads of bedrock have been removed so far)
[The trucks are shown leaving the pit with their fill loaded.]
[Another high speed time lapse is shown like before showing more weeks and months of excavation in a short period. Triangles animate across the top of the screen with text.]
(Text on screen: The footprint of the new Parliament Welcome Centre is equal to 88 Olympic sized swimming pools)
[The image switches to another angle of the pit as it moves backward and pans upward to show the pit and then the centre block. Triangles animate across the center of the screen with text.]
