Salvaging: How The Industry Is Set Up
Airports
For places that historically had an airport or airports, the salvaging industry will set up something resembling an encampment but without setting up huts or tents, these encampments can resemble refugee camps as they are designed to be flat-packed, to be taken down and moved, they use metal barriers to break up a large area into smaller sections. The accommodations are the planes themselves as they are soundproof as well as providing a healthy sleeping surface. The camps will have what people will need such as areas for food and drink preparation. Entertainment is provided by the workers themselves. Areas not normally seen in airports such as areas to dump metal scrap, to be sorted and foundries to pour molten metal into ingots, will be set up.Built-up Areas
In much more built-up areas and historically just after The Great Rewind would go through and move cars and other vehicles to salvage for metals and other items. This would also include electrical and electronic devices. The workers in this context are often close to home so will go back there at the end of the day.Military
Since other technologies were lost due to The Great Rewind, military vehicles also share the same fate with planes. As a military application of technology is built to last as it is used in wars, the process is more complicated and time-consuming.Purposes
The purpose of the Salvaging Industry in the context of airports is to remove the planes and mine them for resources. For the building itself the technology that cannot be used, goes through the same process. What is left is a shell of an airport, which can be used for other applications. For the purposes of the built-up areas, the purpose of the Salvaging Industry is to reduce the unusable technology and refine the metals and other resources. In both settings, metals are melted into ingots and other resources into useful applications such as glass being remelted to sheets.Article Contents
