    One the best in this series, the operator is doing the job faster. Must be a different operator.

    After working on demo equipment in the past, carefully does it, as those hydraulic hoses are very easy to rip out on jagged steel, on a job like this, this machine will likely to have an boom, stick bearing replacement, this kind of work is very hard on machines..slow and steady, wins the race...

    Not much left now, thanks for filming it.. We over in the UK don' have heating plants like the USA, so presume it not a power station, just a facility for making steam for the community, just lots of boilers and pipes..

    What are they going to do with the front facade that they spent a bunch of money on to reinforce it with some impressive heavy steel? Nice video. Thanks John. 💯👍

    The facade will be incorporated into the new building. The temporary steel bracing by the street will be removed as the facade is attached to the new building's structure.
