I cannot even imagine what that project is building, it is huge!

Nice to see these up close. When we lived in Shanghai, we saw these from a distance all over the city on building projects. Some of those pile driving units were much larger than the ones shown. A building got started near the office we were in, hearing those pound all day long wasn't much fun!

didn't see a lot of hearing protection in the video....PPE optional?

Big old diesel drivers. I imagine it would be annoying to listen to that all day long for weeks. But, they are still fascinating to watch.

they need to tune the mufflers or some part of it so it plays a nice tune.....like the guys trying to split that bog chunk of iron/ steel with wedges&hammers playing the jeopardy tune...
