This week at the construction site near our office they have brought in more equipment. This is a good sign as it means that some of the rough grading is finishing up and they will transition to the fine grading stage on some areas of the site.
One of the new pieces of equipment on the side is a large scraper. This is a great piece of equipment for picking up dirt at one place and dropping at another. It was busy scraping up dirt where they were doing some leveling and taking it to another place where they needed some fill.
In the first picture the scraper was taking a load to drop it off. In this picture you can see that it is scraping the ground and picking up dirt.
This are of the lot is pretty well leveled off. It will be interesting to see what the next step will be in this area.
Here you see some of the equipment that will be used in the fine grading process. It will be interesting to see them in action soon.
The other end of the lot where the building will be built has many piles of dirt and also piles of material that had to be cleared from the site. I am sure that it will look much different at the end of this week as they continue with the rough grading at this end.
However, it might rain this week which will slow things down a bit.
