TIL the old brick factory near my town is now a drone mapping site

I drove past the old Carter Brickworks outside of Springfield yesterday and saw a crew flying drones over the empty lot. They had a trailer set up with a big screen showing a 3D model of the ground in real time. It's wild to think that place used to be full of guys mixing mortar by hand... now it's all about digital surveys before a single shovel hits the dirt. Has anyone else worked on a site where the old way and the new tech are literally on the same ground?

Honestly that's pretty cool. Did they say what they're mapping it for? Like is it for a new building or just checking the land?

Kinda sad though, feels like we're losing the history of the place for a digital copy.
