How do they make the gigantic piles of rocks you see at construction sites? There’s some construction taking place near me and the pile of small rocks and dirt has to be a good 50+ feet tall to the very top, and its like mountain shaped. How does that happen? Does the bulldozer just keep pushing it all together and it keeps getting taller? Doesn’t it become a safety hazard for it to all collapse and bury the bulldozer? Im very confused about it, the pile in question seemed to have appeared overnight.

The other thing is if something was previously at the site (houses/buildings), they often demolish and on-site grind concrete/brick with a portable version of the same equipment quarries use to create quarried stone. It comes with ramps that can pile the demolished brick/concrete into very high mounds.
Then when they’re ready, they can reuse it on-site as surface grading material instead of having to truck it off-site for disposal.
