cleaning and clearing works
Explanation:
Immediately after the liberation of the entire country, the commonwealth government started the repair and clearing works for Manila harbor particularly the South harbor facilities. Under Rehabilitation Act of 1946 (Public Law 370, passed by US Congress), funds were allocated for the rehabilitation for Port of Manila under supervision of a branch of the U.S. Corps of Engineer who undertakes all phase of the work in consultation with the Philippine Port Commission.

Obstructions to navigation along Manila bay leading to this pier were removed, and dredge works along the channel particularly near the mouth of Pasig River was conducted by the U.S. Army and U.S Navy

The last step of the dismantling works was to remove the remaining installations and to clean the whole controlled area from rests of contamination. To reduce the radiation exposure the buffer tank which produced a remarkable dose rate was the first component to be dismantled. The cleaning works started with the containment and ended with secondary systems which have been contaminated due to a steam generator leak.

The two responsible site engineers, Holger Rex (Kaltenkirchen) and Wolfgang Börold (electrical engineering) agree as to the secret of success: very good cooperation between track construction and conductor rail, from joint planning of personnel and coordination through to site clearance.

Asker: Thank you. I only found the heritage references, too. It does sound a bit like "clearing up" works, unless it's a misprint or something
