A nice video for Sunday evening. Thanks!
Great series John. Strange viewing for a 70 year old female I know but I love those machines .❤

There is a little bit of 5 year old in all of us.
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...

@@paulkandi Don't know if the operator is the same but the shear they use since the last video clearly makes a difference.
Thanks for the sunday night entertainment.
would be great if it was on a timelasp and maybe an arial view from start to finish? great video though
Great job filming, John. Hope we can see the final video tearing down the front facade next to the sidewalk.

They are preserving the facade to incorporate into the new building.

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.

The government sold it off a decade ago. It's being developed into condos by Four Seasons Private Residences.
My comment about the operator was about 58 minutes into the presentation!!!
On voit bien sur la vidéo que l opérateur ne c est pas par quel bout si prendre pour la simple raison qu il faut eclairsir et enlever ces gravats par une autre machine une qui coupe et l autre qui deblaie

wie sie sehen sehen sie fast garnix...
IF THE OPERATOR ON THE RED MACHINE WENT ANY SLOWER, HE WOULD BE GOING BACKWARDS.
