agree  Kim Metzger: Lexikon Landschafts- und Stadtplanung - Einrichtung einer Baustelle, siehe Baustelleneinrichtung - building site facilities and equipment. Structures and materials for site huts, offices, storage etc.
1 hr
  -> Thanks Kim, checking Kudoz is better than watching Germany versus South Africa.
neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: why doubled? could they not be referring to the entire "land" on which the Baustelle eingerichtet wird? (Yes, there were more interesting games tonight)// Could be in same vein - just wanted to point out a possible other meaning. (cyprus/ireland on www)
6 hrs
  -> Construction / Building site set up / laying out / pegging out would also be the same as the facilities/arrangements. All much in the same vein, or not? Which game did you watch?
agree  Peter Craggs: But it's not really doubled, the author is trying to make sure everything is covered for the planning of the positioning of the site facilities etc., from cabins, wcs and washrooms, canteen, crane locations, storage areas, comstruction access roads
2 days 7 hrs
  -> Thanks, Peter. I take your point, also as given by Cilian.
