A bulldozer operator grooms the dumping area, while another dump truck load is put in position to add more.
Let's just say that while the dryer weather has sped up excavation, things do get a little dusty!
The path the trucks take to and from the field needs to be shored up every once in awhile.
A worker works to set the guidance system (above and below) that helps the excavators know how deep they have to go.
