They have that 4SP (=struthopower) crane/drill/pump/whatnot at 7 o'clock. And ramps. The pyramid builders used slaves and ramps. Presumably this community takes better care of their workers.
Waiting what happens, if/when Ardent touches a piece of technology here.

I only see cranes, I don't see any buckets. Don't see any dirt haulers either.
Undrneath:
The hole may already have existed for the most part and the settlement grew up around it.

One possibility is that they've stumbled across an underground bunker system full of the tech they wanted to find. So, there isn't all that much dirt to move now they're down to the bunkers and through its concrete roof. It's just a matter of systematically exploring the storerooms, silos and hangers.

That seems highly plausible. I find it amazing so much technology could survive relatively in tact. One thing I learned from watching Life After People is it wouldn't take long for the things mankind has built to crumble. Even though there were quite a few people left after the blink the results wouldn't be all that different without enough workers to maintain what was left.
sitnspin:
Most of the rapid decay of human built things is a result of exposure to the elements. If the tech they are uncovering has been largely protected from the elements, it should be in relatively decent condition. What damage has been sustained can be repaired. Sedna spends much of her time restoring old tech. These people could be doing the same.
