The captain stated that while taxiing southbound on taxiway "Z," the flight crew felt a sudden "big thud/ jolt." After an inspection of the outside of the airplane, the captain observed damage to the left main wingtip due to a possible collision with a construction steamroller. The steamroller driver stated that after lunch he returned to the construction site and began to operate the steamroller without a wing walker being present. He said that he did not see or hear the airplane as it approached.
Probable Cause: The steamroller driver's improper decision to operate the vehicle without a wing walker present.
