Planning Department Demolition, Part 3

[@dimievers5573]

Now that's a demo site the way I like to see it . Active separation of materials. A sorted site . Makes working on it way easier and organized.

[@dimievers5573]

Well maintained machines . Not a hint of chain squeel or sloppy joints . Very nice Berg

[@constructionwatcher5381]

That's an interesting tool they use to extend the reach of the excavator. No doubt a lot cheaper than getting in a high-reach rig. I thought I saw two different ones, on looking homemade. Those guys are very good with them.

They also used it to reach the top level of this building. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnXVoaKJerKjoKM

[@constructionwatcher5381]

@@JohnZWetmore I saw it there, but you got some much better shots of it in this episode.

Great job recording. This guy doing a great demolish. In my local city there is this shopping mall built in 1988. I remember the old building being demolished to make way for this shopping mall. But I can't even remember what the building looked like.

[@firealarmdiscovery]

Is that a fire alarm in the background? Just had to ask!

[@JohnZWetmore]

There was a trash truck backing up at one point.

Yet another great video. These guys are real pros!!!

[@BradfordGuy]

@ 1:18:40 Is that considered a strike? Sure looked like a full swing to me!

[@dimievers5573]

I think they could have used a 3rd excavator. one can mostly do the teardown and stack the materials behind him so the other two can sort . There is a lot of time spend sorting here .it's a slow demo for that reason. Especially with the high amount of metals in this structure

Those used brick sell for about $2 each at HD.

[@johnfoltz8183]

I guess this is being replaced with yuppie sawdust and cardboard apartments set at high rents

[@esnaultregis1380]

Amateur

[@jimmydickson8854]

They really need an excavator with longer reach

[@davidobrienirl]

As a builder who uses demolition contractors all the time. This is the worst outfit I have seen. Inexperience!!

[@Engineer9736]

Why did they need to demo it? It looked nice and there are a lot older buildings in the world which are still standing fine. Seems wasteful. But it's a fun demo otherwise 🙂 Great crash at 2:18 😁

[@dimievers5573]

It's a government building. As soon as the cost of running it exceeds the benefit it gets brought down . You are right though . There is buildings more deserving of demo then this one . It could easily have been repurposed.

[@sydsyd]

Knock them all down!

[@davidroosa4561]

i find this ironic

[@goodcitizen4587]

well, it is planned

[@melmo5218]
