    Love your demolition videos! Just the sounds of the work going on, and always high quality videography. I wonder the make of the excavator. Volvo? It's the perfect size for this job. Probably a yard or maybe a yard and a quarter machine. Perhaps might need a hydraulic thumb, but is doing fine just as it is. Good operator at the controls.

    With the current housing shortage in N.America why destroy a perfectly good structure unless this land is valuable.

    The description says this is an old office building. They are demolishing it for a better use of the land

    at first i was like why isn't he using the thumb/claw to help grab stuff then later on i got a closer look and realized its a fixed position thumb/claw no a hydraulic like it first appeared to be and he is like a surgeon operating that machine!

    These guys spent a lot of effort separating materials, more than most it seemed to me.

    alot of the brick and concrete blocks can be recycled for use in new blocks and concrete i believe and of course metal is worth a little crap prices are not great at least in my area but it beats sending it all to a landfill and steel support beams i think can be re-certified and sold to another builder if still in good enough condition which it looks like the ones here are just gonna be scrap and it is probably much easier to semi sort as you go

    ⁠@@jays106right and wrong. Jim the owner of TSC is very particular of the materials. Brick/cinder block go to their concrete recycling plant out in Gainesville, VA and their steel goes to their recycling yard in Merrifield. None of the beams are sold off to be used on other sites lol, all of it is 100% recycled. Source: used to be an operator for them a few years ago

    seems like a rather inexperienced operator, the time it takes is unbearable in most demolition companies.

    He's also separating the different materials. If you didn't notice he's also driving a brand new piece of equipment.. he's not inexperienced

    Стажер за управлением еще не выучил рычаги и кнопки, а два камикадзе уже бегают вокруг работающей стрелы, что-то подбирают, руками кидают. Аппалачи они и в Африке Аппалачи.
