The second skanska site I visited was the new parking garage up on turner street. This unlike the ASA was in the beginning stages of construction. There was a lot of excavation and the caissons were just beginning to be drilled. Though the site looked very hectic and had a lot of equipment and material everywhere it seemed to be running smoothly and organized. On this site it seemed like the most important job at the time was removing the dirt that had been excavated. The one part of this project that brought me back to a BC exercise was was the topsoil that had been removed. If you were to look to the top of Turner St. you would see a 15 to 20 ft wall of earth were if you looked down toward Chu-Chos it appeared that no topsoil was removed. I can almost imagine the drawing of the topographic map and how I would go about and estimate how much earth needed to be removed. This paired with the excavator placing the dirt in the dump trucks showed me the practicality of the presentation we did on the building by 460.
