I've loved watching this from my balcony across the road for the last few months, thanks guys, fascinating incite

[@Tmp130]

I drive by this all the time and love when the light is red so I can take a closer look!

[@markreetz1001]

All the way to Calgary, eh? Hard to keep in Toronto, eh? Those cranes are something!

[@kenhofer8063]

[@rollinlowford]

Long time overdue in seeing view footage

[@Worldisfullofclowns]

This is wicked!!!! I live in Vancouver and work in Demo in and we arent doing anything this cool. Seems like a wicked place too work!

[@stephenlamarre8086]

You guys are the best in demolition in the industry. I love how you put so much emphasis on safety since this is not an easy job and is very dangerous. Keep up the great work and you deserve all the awards and commendations that you receive in the industry. Much success for the 2023 year. All of the company deserves all the awards since you work harmoniously in your jobs that you do. I enjoy seeing all the employees working together as a whole to make sure everything is done safely. Keep up the great work!!!!

Whoever decided to add a waterline to the end of the boom is smart. However I feel like it nozzle should be like a shower nozzle to spray a larger area

[@chornii_boumer7324]

I think it is code or requirement for most job site in the Western America. Or it is just because close to residential. I’m doing formwork for a new Canadian tire in BC and the excavation crew keeps watering the jobsite to keep dust low even the asphalt/concrete crusher has a water sprayer. Couple of days ago they brought in a uge ski hill type blower but they didn’t use it yet. I am wondering for what purpose it will be 😂 to give us outside A/C 😅??

I SAW THIS THING ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL FOR LIKE A WEEK, thisis crazy!

[@ucc930ml]

Once the demolition work is completed and the land becomes vacant, my memories will also disappear. What kind of buildings were there along this road that I pass every day...? No, was there ever a building on this land in the first place...? Like that…

NICE IT HAS CAMERA ON THE TOP ARM. 🙄🙄🙄

The new show is ok but I miss the old show.

[@rodleypumpkins4174]

Why wouldn’t you just drop it with explosives ? Seems like it would cost more to run this big machine.

[@Gorbukoki]

Demo by explosives is way way more expensive than most imagine (not discounting that you may know that), and the local impact is significantly greater from the dust/debris. Them also not having plans for how the building was built could complicate the demo by explosion/liability.

The red mile doesn't connect downtown Calgary to Stampede Park. It runs through the southern border of the Beltline to stampede Park. Obviously this person doesn't live here, or has problems with Calgary geography.

[@2brazy4ubitch]

GOTCHAAAAA

[@GordoGambler]

OK. So tell us WTF is the beltline?? It was in the news about the C train expansion plans that Smith cancelled. LOL.

[@spencermatthews5942]

@GordoGambler the Beltline refers to the tramline that served said area over 70 years ago. The neighborhood just held the name after the rails were removed, and the service ended. This has zero to do with any future Ctrain expansion or cancelation!

[@GordoGambler]

@@spencermatthews5942 Oops. That was the green line.

[@cmac9029]

If I recall right, that’s not even the highest that big boy can reach!

[@PriestlyDemolitionInc]

You're right, we can go a little higher!

[@beansie5493]

Why not implode the building?

[@kenhofer8063]

Didn’t you listen there’s a restaurant around the corner

10 years ago in Edmonton the old 8 story Mayfair hotel was being torn down this way, it was right beside DT Jasper Ave. It had a steel structure though. So they were chipping away from the back while the HEAVY front face was still there. I rode my bicycle lots and went thru the covered sidewalk a few times during this. The last time I was looking at a lot of nothing holding the front up and thinking I should say something to the MORON engineers. Next day It collapsed onto the avenue. Luckily no cars were there at that moment. Sure saved them time tho. LOL.

All this bla bla bla and not one word about reach
