Comparative reference — Hyundai's panel line is two football fields, used to give scale to what a panel line looks like.

Somewhere near that lay-down yard is a big building, about 20 or 30 feet tall, with a welding panel line. It's going to be at least half the size of a football field, if not the size of two football fields. If you go to something like the Hyundai shipyard in Ulsan, Korea, it'll be two football fields. They bring the plate in, they have a gantry crane that is the full width of that plate, and they have the welding equipment on this gantry crane. The gantry crane is only about 10 or 15 feet tall, but it's got 20 tons of welding equipment on it.
