Old Giants Stadium Gets Filled In - Moving the Earth

Gramercy Group, Inc. (www.gramercygroupinc.com) was the lead demolition contractor that brought Giants Stadium to the ground in less than 5 months.
After the last standing structure of Giants Stadium was demolished and clean up was complete a new task began. Filling in the bowl and foundations of where the stadium once stood.

The month long process of moving 250,000 cubic yards of excavated soil from the New Meadowland Stadium excavation and combining it with crushed concrete fill was an arduous process.

Here are some of the machines that were used and a look at what it takes to literally Move the Earth.
