My 65 year old wife (who knows nothing about demo) watched this video with me, and about 1/2 dozen time asked me, 'what's he doing now?' I was at a loss to answer. I never had a job that I could screw around on to this extent.
Not very professional operator. Taking far too long to take out the walls and let roof fall in. Amazede that road to right hand side was still operational during demolition as there was always a chance the front elevation could fall into the road. Have certainly seen much better organised operators who could have had this structure down and segregated into rubble/metal/timber much safer and quicker!
I’m wondering why that machine is so close to the building? Curious to know why the original grab was quick hitched off then re hitched? Seems to be a bit chaotic frankly and of course, time is money and and a lot of time is being wasted! At 57.00 that gentleman looks like a mature apprentice!
Very smooth operator. Interesting building. Looks not that old, with steel roof and floor framing, and those metal frame windows look to be original. But un-re-enforced brick walls. Must be no concern about earthquakes there. How are the hydraulic connections made with the removable tools without manual intervention?
Could easily be 100 years old, I would've guessed 1900-1930 by the bay (5:05) on the left side of the building. In Europe, these smaller steel beams were used in the first half of the 20th century, also the thin ceilings tell that it's an older building. After WW2, thicker slabs and much more steel reinforcment was used (no steel beams anymore, but reinforcing steel).
@@baustellenzurich4745 Thanks. I was also confused by the plastic sheeting under the tile roof. Maybe the roof was replaced, or could the plastic be that old?
@@constructionwatcher5381 Probably not. They usually install these plastic sheets as moisture protection (e.g. for insulation under the roof). I don't see glass wool or anything like that in the video, so I guess they once put up new tiles and the plastic was installed at that time.
I love how the camera shakes from that far away every time a large chunk of the side of the building falls and hits the ground.
The masonry hold together much better than what I see in American structures. Perhaps the mortar is a better mix and does not deteriorate as badly.

Amazing they dont use shovels anymore, just stay in the cab and one guy can take apart and recycle most of a building in a day

@@baustellenzurich4745 Thanks. That must be it.
Muy prolijo el operador, pero muy lento (too much slow).
Put the video on 2x it make them a-lot faster
The operator seams to be working very slow.
The operator seems to be working without any depth perception...
He's getting paid by the hour. I'd work slow too.
@@bamahama707 I think KNOWLEDGE would be a better word for this case
Unlike priestly, no bullshit
This guy slow or what he’ll be there for months,can’t watch any more I’m falling asleep
der typ an der kurbel hat wat genommen..
Ok 😛😛🙏🙏👍
I hope they didn't pay this operator by the hour !
A regular bucket with a thumb would be better in this case it would HELP IF YOU KNEW HOW TO USE IT !
Not really
you have to fast forward the video just to see any thing get done ..
Apprentice operators are assigned demolition sites until they have gained skill. The smart apprentices don't rush and cause accidents.
Where was that being done
gottseidank vorbei..
too much screwing around must be a t and m job
