Earlier in the summer the demolition company knocked down the big manufacturing structure and either transferred the debris to a landfill on the outskirts of the city, or carted the metal and other salvageable material to a scrap metal dealer. Now it is the task of the site crew to prepare the ground to make the foundations fitted to the new construction's requirements. This video clip shows several workers operating heavy equipment as they rearrange the truckloads of ground that have been purchased and delivered to the site. For a spectator the invisible script that guides the work produces a marvelous drama of big moving parts, all working in purposeful and coordinated ways. The yellow livery that colors most all the gear adds some coherence to the visual experience, too.
