PREPARING FOUNDATIONS AS A PHASE OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SPEAKER: The wrecking crew is followed by the excavators. Here we find steam-shovel engineers, drillers, blasters, riggers, and signalmen. The immense weight of the building must be supported by adequate founda- tions. At one side of the excavation we find rock-drillers preparing a pier hole to receive the concrete footing. In another section of the excavation it is necessary to sink caissons to a solid footing.—From The Builders.
