Now that's a bathtub that makes an 800 look like a rubber ducky!

The WTC is one heck of a project. Thanks for the pics, for the people that won't get the chance to see it in person.:thumbsup

The pressure on those retention walls must be incredible.

Thanks guys, I can't even the imagine the pressure on them

Great pics. Did you get a sense of what is actually happening down in the pit? I wonder how they get the material out of the pit?

So what is it exactly that they're building? It'll be kinda weird going into a building where such a terrible thing had happened.

They use a crane and a ADT bed and they lift the dirt out that way, here is a video showing how they do it. I am getting a hotel room that overviews the site , keep in mind that I only live 10 minutes from there

As you see some of the pics might be from above, I got to go in 7 World Trade Center on the 48TH floor and got the chance to get pics. It was amazing from up there!


Just some info about the pics. The site is all blocked off with a blue tarp like wall around the whole site. I got the pics the pics of the foundation because someone cut the wire ties holding the blue stuff to the gap and no-one knows about that spot the take pics, so I hope they dont close it up!

It's a no-no hear too, I guess these guys just don't care.

There is a company over here (NACIREMA) who repaints their equipment every other weekend. One operator scratched a c/w and they immediately took him off that machine

Pics from the cleanup (not my pictures)

They had a couple of EX1200's there!

Awsome Why have the bigger cats got additional external exhaust systems?

 

[245dlc]

Those are interesting photos of the cleanup I remember with seeing a lot of new footage with some of those big mining size excavators. If you've got more of the cleanup please post them, the magnitude of the job is staggering.
