1866 Bridge Pier Demolition (Part 1)

[@perstaffanlundgren]

Are the stones reused for something/salvaged? or crushed/ made into fill? That would be a pity... Sutch nice masonary work....

Interesting demo!!! Thanks for posting this.

[@josephlopez4871]

That's some incredible skill by the operator

[@josephlopez4871]

Please do a similar video when they start the boring and drilling of shafts

[@shytoad130]

Just finished watching and must say i was amazed at the tonnage of rock they stacked on that barge. WOW!😲

[@solskengroupllp2758]

Must have had in uncle in the bidding process. All the wrong equipment for moving granite.

[@josephlopez4871]

How would you do it?

[@johncamp2567]

An efficient process!!

[@shytoad130]

John, can you give me any information about what the blocks they are removing are made of. Thanks! 💯

[@JohnZWetmore]

Port Deposit Granite, from quarries 5 miles up the river.

@@JohnZWetmore Went up and walked around that city and there are so many old buildings that are still great looking made out of this stone. Also stopped and read Snows plaque about the civil war accomplishments of this city. Thanks John!

I hope the stone can be repurposed in a construction project.😊

Cool video but how come they didn’t use a shear

Old faithful has seen her last day. Are they diving out there that you know of??

[@JohnZWetmore]

I did spot a boat displaying diving flags with the barges one day, but I never spotted the divers and do not know what they were doing.

[@Imholze]

Sad

[@NN-iu6bh]

Are they already finished

[@JohnZWetmore]

The last pier at each end will be taken down in October.
