Heavy equipment called loaders and excavator thundered across the southwest corner of the World Trade Center site today. The big rigs belong to E.E. Cruz & Company, the contractor hired to prepare the site for the World Trade Center Memorial.
The machines picked up truck-length pieces of steel, timbers and debris. This phase of construction carries a $17 million. The excavators will be drilling, blasting and digging holes, cubes that go down 10 feet deep.
“Merely organizing all of this construction will be a nightmare. For one, there will be immense traffic coming in and out of the site delivering workers, steel, cranes, newly mixed concrete, and so on,” Newsweek Online said. “The Command Center and construction management firm Liro Group have developed a master timetable and 3D model of the development process to help time it all. They meet with all the construction team on a monthly basis.”
Like yesterday, I’m inclined to use another cliché today to describe what’s going on at Ground Zero now except I can’t think of one that could compare the construction on Greenwich Street to the building of the great pyramids of Egypt centuries ago. Its our Miracle on Greenwich Street.
