In September 2023, ironworkers lower one of many rebar cages to create the main factory floor of one of Intel's two new factories in Chandler, Arizona. Concrete will later be poured to surround the rebar. Building an Intel chip fab requires about 600,000 cubic meters of concrete. (Credit: Intel Corporation)

A crawler crane, the world's largest of its kind, is at work in September 2023 lifting steel trusses into place for Intel's Fab 52 and Fab 62 in Chandler, Arizona. The crane can lift 3,000 tons at a time - the weight of more than 400 adult elephants. An estimated 50 cranes are needed at the job site. Intel's more than $20 billion project represents the largest private-sector investment in Arizona history. (Credit: Intel Corporation)
