Geovert - 2000 tonne Granite Pinnacle Removal (June 2013)

[@johnny5stickswilliams696]

Worked with these guys in NZ and Aussie on some very interesting jobs, possibly the most exciting work in my 40 year career in piling and foundations, thanks for the chance Anthony and Paul.

Great work guys, I've done more than a bit of drilling while hanging on a rock face but that is taking it to the next level ++. I love the air liftable drill rig as I fully appreciate the difficulty of drilling horizontal holes in such conditions, doing it in the snow is hard enough when you are on the ground, I take my hat off to you. - Dave

[@neriksen]

If you have a version with no music so we can hear all the guys at work plus what ever the cameras catch that would be great... 👍🏻

[@stevenmonson5149]

Oh, what a fun job , count me in!!!

[@alohamatthewshields]

I also would like to know why...

[@flemingcourt]

Here's what so many youtubes get WRONG: replacing live sound with a sound-track. It completely ruins what could have been a great production.

[@hillseason]

3:35 ... How did the helicopter land on that!!!

[@LostInPresets]

I can't believe this amazing footage was spoilt by the music, at least the music could have cut for the rock fall.

[@eetamuffin]

Agreed... It would be nice to hear a narration of the project and operation instead of that idiotic music

[@Seroxm13]

I do love the song tho.

[@apolloskyfacer5842]

The rock is most likely Gabbro, not Granite. Check out the geological maps of the area. I collected some nice samples of Gabbro at both the eastern and western entrances to the Homer Tunnel.

[@tjw_]

this looks like the best job ever

[@scaneagle62]

I think the music was alittle to loud.

[@DrewMeyerBCMines]

The fun starts at @7:04

[@Adventureconsultants]

Such a great video! We look forward to getting back down there for the next stage :)

[@midwest4416]

[@carloscastilla154]

Wouldn't mind work with they someday, and don't worry mate about the music, the driller does the best concert when you're there

[@Adamjen]

[@josephinebennington7247]

Why?

[@midwest4416]

See Description

[@josephinebennington7247]

Mid West Well, well, well I never knew how much Info was lurking under that little down arrow head. And why would I? If only it had said More... or Read More... Thank you for the pointer.

[@truthdefenders4694]

Cool vid, the music was annoying as hell after about 2 minutes.

[@Krait99]

Why not get one of the storm giants to throw rocks at it?

[@grassgrazer22091]

Next we should just blow up half dome because it has to many unstable parts that could damage the road!

[@patrickhoulihan7210]

Interesting video.All it needs is some decent music rather than the dreadful soundtrack present.

[@ralphjames1211]

But the uploader is from Austerburg, Germany! What did ya expect? They listen to crap like that in Germany! It's like their version of what Country Music is to Americans!!!

Is that a Cornish flag I see on the back of the helmet

mgh = 2,000,000 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 & 900m = 17.64 GJ = 4.2 tons of TNT.

[@wlrp3]

No commentary, just random music? People that post ripped-off videos do it just like this.

[@Dysturbed-00]

Sign me up.

[@tomwilliam5118]

I kind of like the music it was different

[@marcosrotllan]

Congrats for the horrible music

[@aaceytuno]
