Excavator in deep trouble

  • In february, a forwarder and a excavator sank in the wetlands in northern Sweden. The salvage turned out to be a complicated, dangerous and costly operation.
    The plan to create a icy plateau in order to get the the necessary machines to the site had to be abandoned. Instead the forwarder and then the excavator was pulled out of the wetlands. The operation took several weeks to complete.

      Probably way too much damage to show. I mean they dragged it out on the cab lol. Not sure they had any better options. But for the money and time spent on extraction, I'm sure all the damage is embarrassing.

    If this seems bad, look at what Seattle had to go through. The tunnel boring machine they were using broke down deep under the downtown Seattle waterfront. They had to create a giant access hole to bring it to the surface to make repairs. $300 million dollars and two years later, it was finally fixed, and finally could continue on from the spot in which it broke.

      +CHRIS BROESKY Maybe they had no choice, it could be an environmental issue to leave an excavator in the water, and if they don't own the property they might be legally required to get it out of there.

    i would of started by taking it apart.. i would of gotten close to it with a track crane and removed the boom first.. seeing how there was a diver there and all then the counter weight and likely it could of just been lifted out of the hole.. it broke my heart to see that thing get dragged out like that... lol

  • @austinshackles549

    I bet they rebuilt 'er. Excavators that big ain't cheap, and provided it was shut down before going under water, it shouldn't be that hard to get it running again.

    • @dieselman8v923

    • @mjberta7319
      @mjberta7319 6 років тому

    • @per.kallberg
      @per.kallberg 2 роки тому

      @@simonsms410 well, it needs to lift more than twice the excavator from at least 50m away. That is 4000 ton/meters. The biggest mobile crane in the world has approximately 3000 ton/meters capacity. It might work but it’s unlikely to get there and the earth works needed would be enormous to carry the load.
