[@constructionwatcher5381]

Nice job with the St. Mary's clips. I was wondering why I didn't remember it, then figured out it burned before I started working in the City in 1965.

[@HospitalConstruction]

I probably should have noted that you can see the new St. Mary's in the background.

[@constructionwatcher5381]

I do remember when that was built, and the controversy over its interesting (?) shadow lines.

[@hydvhjjvdthhc7861]

Poor dozer, he is the busiest guy on the site.

[@clippernail625]

Yeah it takes a lot of work for this senior building

[@jercar898]

Once again great job. Thanks for all the time and effort.

[@firedavin]

I’m just trying to imagine all of the brickwork they did around 1891. The equipment, manpower and the tools that was available back in that era.

[@johndavidson4128]

Labor was cheap back then

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Sand backfill made it relatively easy. Horse carts being hand loaded - about as easy as it gets.

[@bobbailey4954]

Freedom flight I’ll bet they laid the brick a lot faster then the guy doing the tear out.

[@reasonable1]

The last part with the tower going up in front of the moving clouds and sunset was beautiful

[@HospitalConstruction]

I arranged specially to have those clouds come by at a pre-arranged time

[@miketerrine1131]

Love this format of the videos.

[@webmozaic]

The guy lazily hammering the brick wall at appx 10:40, now there's a guy that enjoys his work. ;-)

[@victorc8804]

After a certain age guys get like that he is probably making over $35 an hour plus if he is union, he is most likely tired he needs a little more stamina not bad $35 an hour especially if you're monthly Bill's/expenses are minimal

[@webmozaic]

$35/hour? I'd be going at it like a steam train if I got that. Shouldn't be using a hammer anyway, a percussion drill is way more efficient. The last thing he needs is a bit of brick flying at him at speed.

[@K-Effect]

He holds the hammer like a girl

That track loader bit in the video hurt my soul a little.

[@hydvhjjvdthhc7861]

Oh precious antique bricks!

[@Hightower600]

I just came here for the music. xD Seriously though the "Small Crane" you refer to is known as an "RT" Crane (Rough Terrain) & the larger one that was used to build the Tower Crane is an "AT" Crane (All-Terrain) (Looks like a Terex Demag (Now Tadano) AC500-1 (600 US Ton Capacity) model.

[@HospitalConstruction]

Thanks for the details!

[@TheGraphicsgriffin]

Cool series! about those excavators at the start of the video, they had augers and they drilled holes and installed cylindrical hollow tubes, and then concrete was placed inside them. Are those caissons or piles?

[@DoiThoXayVlog]

Amazing Construction

[@michaelmiller7600]

Thanks so much for these video series My dad used to build things (mostly houses) but I'm learning a lot I interested if they keep the brick wall for some sort of period piece in the basement thanks again for your work

[@HospitalConstruction]

In some instances, they are required to keep parts of "historic" buildings, mainly facades. But not in this case. Most of the old church was long gone before even the prior building on this site was built, and I don't imagine anyone considered the foundation to be historic. Would have been cool, though, but I doubt the builder would have liked the added problems and expense.

[@МихаилИванов-ж1ь4з]

👍 interesting video.

[@tompitt7167]

At 11:16, did you people notice, that the hydraulic valve block of the excavator on the right is leaking in the night.

Yes, I noticed it sliding down overnight.

6:53 "concrete washout? nope no concrete washout here!" I like how they placed the washout on soil and then bury it. Environmental people would have my nuts if I ever tried that!

[@vinitiusfratila9792]

The other is for the pumpcrete or the lifts for workers later on the stage and the later on floors platforms and building as it rises up...

[@ThisAdventureFamily]

Excellent content keep it up

[@tempus_fugit7366]

If anyone is interested, I just tried to estimate the grade of the road next to the construction site. I don't have 100% accurate data, but between google earth and other estimates, I estimate a 10% grade for the roads on the left and right of the site. Certainly not the steepest grade in San Francisco, but certainly nothing to sneeze at when making sure everything is truly level. The westernmost wall appears to be approximately 25 feet high (or deep, depending on your perspective.) I suppose these facts are only significant to Floridians like myself where the grade of the ground is typically 0%, lol.

[@HospitalConstruction]

The steepness of SF's street is a constant topic of conversation. There are even sites like hillmapper.com that attempt to document them all. According to that site, the street on the left is 10.4% and the street on the right is 9.3%. So, you're pretty darn close, congrats! For comparison, officially according to the bureau of engineering, the steepest is Filbert between Leavenworth and Hyde at 31.5 percent. But unofficially, Bradford Street above Tompkins Avenue has a grade of 41 percent.

I can sum it up as: 6 cameras, many terabytes of disk space, and lots and lots of editing work and other work.

[@Metagross555]

All that driving with a TRACKED loader? They're crazy, tons of wear on the track system, and on the operators ass.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Jonathan Jung, if all you got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

[@Pteparts69]

I suspect the ground is a little to soft for a wheelie. I could only imagine the ruts without packing that dirt

[@davidlang1125]

You have to wonder if that was the best way of excavating the pit.

[@jascollinscork]

Best video so far in this series!!!! Erecting the crane was cool!!! Is it safe to assume that the site closed down way back in March-April like the rest of the world due to COVID-19?? Or because it’s America and Trump was in charge the site didn’t close.....???

[@pizall1440]

18:01 why didn't they drive the batch mix concrete truck over to the holes rather than carrying it over in the bucket?

[@K-Effect]

Exactly, the ground is much too soft. If you look around all the other equipment is on tracks.

[@mohawk72]

Maybe they havent got steel plates to drive on or such a machine here.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3vYYqduodCkptU

[@phillbob5336]

Nice video but how can they possibly think its ok to load trucks with a Trackloader and the dirt is 500 feet away. Are they milking it or ignorant?

[@shopshop144]

how would you have done it? The other possible load out site was taken up by other action. I'm surprised they didn't have 2 loaders since the empty trucks had to wait so long.

[@phillbob5336]

looks like no trucks allowed on site for what ever reason, however, a rubber tire loader is correct choice, yes 2 better than 1 if the trucks must be loaded from that far away. Completely wasting the tracks traveling that much with the 963. to much wear and tear. none the less im sure the Super has some justification he is doing that way...i hope

[@PinkiHusky]

better is for this use a wheel loader

[@TheRocklander]

Love your videos! I have a question... What’s that white building with no windows in the background?

[@HospitalConstruction]

I think you're probably referring to the new St. Mary's Cathedral. (Which by the way is quite a place, and popular with the tour buses.)

[@danielvelazco4142]

2:40 chill moment :)

[@robertshaffner707]

Sir, I have watched nearly every one of your videos and obviously I enjoy them. I have to say the new music just flat out sucks! Having vocals in this kind of video is just unnecessary and kind of dumb. I think it should be just a little background noise and not a distraction. The music in your previous videos the last four years has been perfect! Just my opinion, thanks and keep up the good work

[@constructionwatcher5381]

Sorry, I like the new music. I found the old boring and quickly turned it off.

[@HospitalConstruction]

I understand what you're saying, and it is indeed something I considered myself, but I eventually decided that, in my opinion, it works fine to sometimes have vocal music. One thing I have learned over the years is that it is impossible to please everyone with the music choices, so I tend to just go with what I like, tempered greatly by what is available with respect to licensing issues (legal and cost). My advice for anyone who doesn't like the music is to turn down the volume and listen to their own favorites. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@robertshaffner707]

Hospital Construction 👍👍👍

[@jakeo2600]

Robert Shaffner I couldn't agree more. The music is beyond pathetic. Thank God I'm able to mute it.

[@gilron9585]

great videos. Just curious if you can monitor the cameras in live, or you come by the end of the day and see it ?

[@HospitalConstruction]

A combination of both. For the base time-lapse camera, I usually don't see it until the end of the week.

[@jeffreyloftus3617]

19-08 TO 19-30 , I have no idea what that on site mix is but it sure as hell would not pass a "quality check"

[@shopshop144]

why not? I'd think they would need spread footings but I guess not, just a piece of I-beam stuck in the ground and held in place by concrete. So I guess they are expecting friction between the concrete and the ground to supply the strength. In earthquake country I thought they'd need more then this. Maybe the new building isn't going to be very tall.

[@pizall1440]

Looks to me like flowable fill not concrete. Just liquid sand.

wonder why OPERATIONS was stenciled on the wall? how long ago? why?

[@HospitalConstruction]

The prior building on this site was a TV Studio. The lower level was a parking garage. My guess is that was a reserved parking spot for the "Operations" department of the TV Station.
