    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.

      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.

    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

    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.

      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.
