Office Bldg. Demolition (Part 1), Bethesda

[@justinmccowan2543]

I can't imagine the boredom inflicted during its time in operation as offices, this looks like a far more interesting line of work!

[@rosasantiago8830]

[@bettyprice6316]

I love watching demolition, thank you for your great videos once again.

Immer wieder schön. Gebäude Abreissen könnte Ich von Morgens bis Abends ansehen. Puschelpapa aus Balingen 😮

[@mariotorres6287]

Nice video. Thanks for posting this excellent action video, with just the sounds of the machines and the action. BERG is currently demolishing a 12 story, steel-framed office building in downtown Columbia, using their Manitowoc 3900W crane with 180 feet of boom, with a 2 ton ball. The work is being assisted with two Komatsu PC300 excavators with grapples and buckets. As seen here, an excavator with just a bucket can be an effective demolition machine. The high-reach demo excavator with shear is great for steel-framed buildings, for cutting the steel as the building comes down.

[@k.c.beagle7102]

This is by far the best demo video ever! AWESOME ,I like that its not over in 2 or 3 minutes . Nice and long and very entertaining. Great job, thanks!

[@JohnZWetmore]

Glad you liked it.

[@brucemartini2288]

i SO agree☺

[@adrianoleuzzi2217]

Tre quattro volpi ben assestati e giù strutture in cemento armato. Buono il ritmo . Bello spettacolo!

[@ibelieveyou2066]

Nice and long.I could literally,watch demo,all day.

Does hitting with the bucket make a difference? Vs just applying pressure down wards

[@wailnshred]

Impact vs just some pressure

[@picklesrule69]

What's going in its place? These videos are so satisfying

[@JohnZWetmore]

A 22-story hotel and office building - "Avocet Tower".

[@mathias6528]

great vid! thanks!

[@frankmccrossan4871]

Them old office blocks must have been built when energy was cheap, no cavity wall insulation, single glaze timber sashes . They'd cost a fortune to heat now-a-days. No wonder it's coming down

[@frankmccrossan4871]

The sashes are double glazed aluminium, sorry 'bout that

[@JohnZWetmore]

Built in the early 1950s. Sometime around the 1970s or 1980s it was covered with insulating foam panels and stucco, which was all peeled off before the excavator went to work.

Hey, I worked in Bethesda back in the 60's What's the address of this demo?

[@JohnZWetmore]

It's at the corner of Montgomery and Waverly, one block east of Wisconsin.

[@richardyoung5217]

It's a pity. Most of the debris will end up in the land fill. There is so much that could have been salvaged.

[@JohnZWetmore]

The metal gets sent to a scrapyard, and the concrete gets crushed to be used in construction. Everything else is landfill material.

[@Engineer9736]

@@JohnZWetmore I was thinking the same. Richard Young is just assuming the worst to have something to complain.

[@rosasantiago8830]

Ya cárcel 😂

[@xl000]

A bucket is for moving material from a hole to a truck bed or a shaker. They’re using the wrong implement.

[@Engineer9736]

If it works and the bucket doesn't seem to get damaged at all, then what's the problem.

[@rosasantiago8830]

Yo

[@wailnshred]

It probably would be easier and more productive to use a grapple or shear, but the people in the video seem to do well with a regular bucket.

[@Mtbker456]

Nice, but I would’ve weakened the lower bearing structure a little more.

[@rosasantiago8830]

[@rcaive0875]

So, I'm the farthest thing from a demolition expert. That being said, why weren't explosives used to take this building down...I mean, it would literally take seconds once the TNT was installed.

[@neil6212]

Interesting video, showing methodical demolition work! Exactly where was this building? I grew up in the area, and worked as an electrician during most of the sixties, mostly doing service work, and downtown Bethesda was part of my territory. The family moved to the area (actually Potomac) in 1956.

[@JohnZWetmore]

It was at the corner of Montgomery and Waverly, a block east of Wisconsin. Close to the old Bethesda Police Station (which also was torn down).

[@rosasantiago8830]

[@rfcomm2k]

Damn shame that the company could not have offered all the windows to someone before smashing them to pieces. All that glass would have made a really big greenhouse and/or solar collector

[@SegoMan]

Then you get into liability issues, but yes lots of things could have been recycled. Generally time constraints does not allow that to happen..

[@OKB1133]

All the peeling off brickwork/masonry with a steel rod is unnecessary when you can clearly see where the steel beams are. And separating the beams/metal from rubble is easy. More time = more money for demo company methinks.

[@marcelbarbu7193]

[@charleysosa2933]

This guy needs to go to school and learn about structural engineering so he can learn about structural stress points to take a building down , start in the middle lowest part of the building the building will come down by it

[@Engineer9736]

Keyboard hero 🙄 I guess they need all the materials in small chunks so it can be loaded easy into containers. Otherwise pulling out the beams in the lowest floor would be the most obvious thing to do. But then if they pick up 1 thing then the rest of the building is still attached to it and covered by rumble.
