Sounds like a case of miscommunication by some parties involved, but I hope this doesn't ruin it for the rest of us.

Maybe they don't want people having photos of things like them pouring the Caroline stop incorrectly, or having to cut it and repour. Could also be troubling for them were they ever to say that they did X on day Y, and then there's a photo on day Y showing X as having been done. Anything that might contradict all the accounting for how this gets done could be touchy, especially if the agreement says that any savings have to be split between GrandLinq and the RoW (ergo don't let any photos out showing that money was saved on part Z, so we can keep full savings).
It likely was someone having a bad day. You are not restricted in any way from filming/shooting while standing in a public place, and nobody has a reasonable expectation of privacy. If the person is standing in the construction zone the most they can do is ask/make them leave the zone and stand in a public, non-construction spot. Most people don't actually know the details of the law and think you can't photograph them which is incorrect. From personal experience police officers can also be oblivious to this adn even (illegally) obstruct your right to take photos if they want, which is another argument
