This is what we call here engineers doing engineering work
What they are doing here, in both photos, involves using those three poles connected in a teepee form, to start laying the foundation. The three poles suspend a pulley which connects a large cylinder. A machine raises and drops the cylinder (gravity) causing the cylinder to pound the earth until it gets deep enough and reaches the bedrock (I'm assuming). I'm not sure if they pour cement afterwards or just note the depth.
It's pretty fun to watch these guys work. So far, I've only seen them work on the edges of this property, starting the the foreground, working down the left side of this picture, to the back (in the picture above, not sure about below).
Update: of the construction site shown above

Site #2
The first photo was in dokki across from the noran hotel by ghir zaman.
The second was on Mohei eldeen by behoos.
The first site caused the death of about five old trees which were cut down after the earth was removed from next to them for the foundation.
These were taken on Sunday February 23, 2014.
