    This looks like another case where they removed the roof membrane and insulation before starting the structural demo. It's most clear at 8:05 where you see the gravel sliding off the metal panels with nothing under the gravel. There are fragments of the membrane still on the parapet. You can see the difference at 36:55, where they didn't remove anything under the floor tiles of the roof deck. It must be worthwhile to keep all that out of the debris from the structural demo.

    I've always been interested in demolition, but couldn't do it as a job due to a disability. I really enjoy watching these videos that excuvator is a amazing bit of kit, the fact they can cut through metal beams like a hot knife going through butter is incredible. Thanks for sharing these videos. Watching from the UK

      The town and county require a water spray to reduce the dust, maybe they don't specify where the water should be sprayed.

    I have just finished watching part 8. I watched part 7 yesterday. Your videos are amazing and this one had me hooked from start to finish especially this episode. I love the way you give us a feel for all the work that goes on e.g. the segregating of all the material. The minions at work clearing the debris while the big one does the actual demolition; even a little skid steer bringing out and stacking the concrete flooring as well as the huge sheers cutting the steel beams into manageable lengths like gigantic bolt cutters. However, some things are intriguing me: what was Mcleans? The outside looks like any 1970's office building but it seemed to be full of aluminium strips and pipes. I wasalso wondering whereabouts in the USA.

    • @JohnZWetmore
      @JohnZWetmore 3 дня назад

      It was an ordinary office building in McLean, Virginia, in the western suburbs of Washington, DC. Very close to Tysons Corner, VA. They stripped the internal walls and ceilings before starting work with the excavators. They left behind the metal studs from the walls in big piles on each floor.

    Nice video. Thanks John. What's that big chunk of what looks like concrete sitting on the bow? It looks like a piece of the bridge support, but it's sitting so square and level you wouldn't think it could have fallen there.

    • @JohnZWetmore
      @JohnZWetmore 3 дня назад

      It is a chunk of the bridge support. It is nice and square because they cut it with the diamond wire saw you might have seen in the other video. Here is a closeup photo of it: www.seatrade-maritime.com/sites/cet.com/files/Dali-Baltimore-Concrete-Block.jpg

    Lynn Street. I think that was the old RCA building in Rosslyn VA. I've worked on roof tops doing HVAC in that area but not that particular building. Kinda sad to see it go but it looked out of place with all the new development over the past decade.

    I am impressed at the power of this machine, the force and strength is incredible. I have read that the jaw on the shear puts out 3000 tons of pressure. As stated on the site of the manufacturer.

    • @mariotorres6287
      @mariotorres6287 5 дней назад

      Yes, you are right. The power of high-pressure hydraulics makes this possible. The high-reach demolition excavator began use abroad, and proved itself as an efficient machine, especially for steel-framed buildings like this one because of the ability to position the shear easily to cut steel. Previously, that steel would have to be cut manually with cutting torches, a far slower method. The Hitachi ZX850 demo machine here has a 140 foot reach, a good sized machine. There are bigger ones out there.
