| In the month
since the demolition contractor left the site, The Foundation Company--contractors
for the foundation of the new Bankers Trust Building--have replaced the
protective staging with a more robust structure and many stiff-legged
derricks. A two-horse team on Wall Street hauls a load of steel sheet
piling, probably destined for the site at the corner of Wall and Nassau
Streets. Steel sheet piling is driven into the soil to retain fill under
buildings adjacent to an excavation--such as the hole being dug for the
foundation of the new tower.
