How modern cranes and pre-fabricated sections are revolutionizing traditional stone masonry

Building a Prefab Stone Wall | This Old House · 5:16 · Video: This Old House · Watch at the source

In short: This video demonstrates the efficient process of constructing a stone wall using pre-fabricated sections. You will see how natural field stone from disassembled old walls is transformed into modular units that are transported and installed via crane.

The process begins at a specialized stone yard, where workers assemble wall sections using various types of natural field stone sourced from old, disassembled walls. Once these modular sections are completed and loaded onto a truck, they are transported to a job site for installation. A crane is used to lower the heavy sections into their final positions, allowing masons to then complete the wall's assembly on-site.
