Industrial Plant Demolition (Part 1), Baltimore

[@danefilander6306]

Another great movie John.

[@hiscifi2986]

Is there no commercial size long reach Plazma Cutter...?

[@andyhughes5885]

Good video John

[@porscha901]

Would be fun to do this type of work

[@Engineer9736]

Dangerous though.. If you do this fulltime for years then the chance is pretty big that you're going to experience some nasty situations.

[@brucemartini2288]

Then take the scrap to recycle💰

[@brucemartini2288]

​@Engineer9736 as for nasty situations, like being up in lift, and disturb a hidden wasp nest😬🥶

[@jamesofbmore]

I think the use of a torch and not heavy equipment is due to 1 its in a neighborhood, 2 across from a school.

[@trainguy1017]

Also as it is an all steel structure it has to be cut up to all for transport. If it were a mixed material construction they could have used heavy equipment to just crush everything much the way the did with the GM Broening Highway plant that they tore down a number of years ago. That one was a mix of steel, fiberglass, brick, concrete and more, that they still had to sort the materials to go to different disposal sites.

Берегите себя , у нас был случай при ремонте пожарного резервуара внутри 500 кубовика упал и погиб мастер сварщиков. Темно , отступился видимо

[@fleurdavey9785]

Don't do that to the trailers as that is how they get damaged

[@thedemolitionman4208]

Love this sort of decommission John will there be more

[@JohnZWetmore]

I'll film factory demolitions if they aren't too far away (DC, MD, VA) and I hear about them in time. Around here it is more often warehouses and office buildings. Rubber Factory Demolition kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqqQg3SnarJno80

[@brucemartini2288]

I wish i could have been there, to watch every day, that it took

[@jays106]

its like the guy running the torches has never done it before! can't seem to decide where he wants to cut

[@whiskeythrottle9369]

Just looking at the play bar, which is half yellow, makes me quit the video.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Too slow...

[@JohnZWetmore]

KZbin will let you run it at 2x speed. Cutting steel is inherently a slow process.

[@godbluffvdgg]

@@JohnZWetmore It is ( slow), that's for sure...I was more commenting on the process of the Oxy Acetylene torch cutting...A plasma rig would go faster..But I imagine finding power and staging the rig in a closed plant environment is a pain in the ass...I've been in the trades for over 3 decades, I thought by the 21st century; we'd have Robots with lasers doing this by now!...:)

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

No word on why the plant is out of commission?

[@JohnZWetmore]

I am told that the company had surplus capacity in its other plants that produce sodium silicates.

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

@@JohnZWetmore Thank you. To me it is always sad to see something like this happening, but then I don't think the way most other people think.

[@subitopoco]

If Maryland is like California, the cost of doing business is high and someone probably wanted to build apartments on that property like we see around 5:40.

[@monkeywentbananas]

Does that guy even know how to set up a oxy acetylene cutting torch? Shouldn't take that long to cut those tiny steel cross members!

[@jamiehett6631]

You ever cut steel out of a rocking cherry picker? Bit different to cutting steel on a bench bud!!

[@melcofrans]

Why is this site being cut into pieces there is enough heavy equipment that could do the trick
