• Quarrying the facing stone.
• Cutting and dressing the stone.
• Collecting stone rubble for the wall core filling.
• Making lime mortar in enormous quantities (hence the need for such large amounts of water, also facilitated by the construction team).
• Gathering timber for scaffolding, which the team then had to erect.
• Transporting these materials to the construction site itself.
• Actually building the wall, including excavating the foundations.
• Excavating associated infrastructure, including defensive ditches and the rear-facing vallum, which given the boulder clay soils would have been the most arduous task associated with building the wall.
• Administering all of the above.
