That would be one of the dumbest mistakes a demolition crew could ever make, especially when I’ve mostly seen it happening in the US, No wonder why it’s important to actually be extremely cautious about checking if you’ve got the right building first, especially if it’s a VERY old building or house your demolishing

1:30 when you see the wall flex so easily it makes one wonder how it stood for so long against the weather !😮

Very cool watching what this piece of equipment can do!

Nice interesting video. Keep making them and learn along the way.

Whoever is driving those excavators is very skilled, i had to remind myself this is a demolition job not a kaiju movie. They are straight smashin this building. Love the video to it started slow at first next thing i know 10 minutes in the building walls & roof are just crumbling all over its self.

Yep. Most people want this to go fast, but if you knock over the entire brick facade into the construction fence you're apt to kill a mom and her kids in a passing minivan. Plus environmental gets really mad if you make way too much dust at once. You mostly want this slow and steady with no surprises.

The steel can be separated from the concrete and recycled. There isn't much chance of reusing the concrete. That stuff has to be poured new. I wonder if the brick facing is reused or thrown away, when considering that bricks do wear out over time.

Yeah, just goes to show how brick is only strong when it doesn’t have a gaping hole punched in it.

Parabéns, mto bom video .

When they tore down Shea Stadium,everything was laid into separate piles and recycled,even the asphalt from the parking lots. The rubble was all ground up on site for easy transport by large dump trucks to a recycling facility

When the wrecking shears touch the brick wall it flexes like cardboard.

What many people don't realize is all that debris will be sorted , concrete steel, ect will be recycled. What cannot be recycled will have to be disposed of at a landfill. That is expensive. The less that is sent to the landfill the more profit the contractor makes.The operator is very skilled. Those are not garden hoses, more like high pressure fire hoses.

And why not pulling out cables, HAVAC parts (which arent afixed the roof, scaffold would be too expensive or even scissor plattforms on wheels) from the inside before the concrete gets ripped? Here it is even not allowed to landfill the roofing.

Not a brick tie in sight,no wonder the brickworks peeling like wallpaper, haha.

Holy crud! right around 3 minutes when that wall pack falls off the wall, you could actually hear the HID lamp exploding!

Good Video

That’s an extremely flexible wall 😳

Demolition contractor's skill, making mice meat of the main walls, battling with re enforced concrete, what would have taken a long, time to build, is ripped down in a few hours

Once this operator got warmed up and familiar with the structure, he went to town!

It seems like he could just push the wall right over. But it looks like he's just having fun chewing up the walls.

I have a home improvement project the Mrs has been nagging me about all winter, where can I rent one of those?

we are looking for the spectacular collapse (59 mins on) but the whole aim is to bring it down a little at a time so no big section falls out into the street or causes another section to buckle and fail.If anyone had bumped a pillar inside this building it could have caused a deck of cards style or domino collapse. Good it is gone, only held together by crappy wire mesh and bad rebar.

do you salvage the bricks

"so schauts aus",, super demolition..

So this was concrete block with steel framing and brick veneer? Must be alot of asbestos in that place too.

Do they recycle the broken bricks into new bricks or does all this rubble go to landfills? Some buildings are torn down manually to recycle the bricks and the wood beams and rafters and resold as used at a discount to avoid landfill costs Sometimes the rubble is taken to shredder yards to reduce it to powder form. The powder is used to make new bricks and concrete blocks The steel beams and girders are shredded and sent to China as scrap and remanufactered as new automobiles and appliances. The USA then imports the autos and appliances from China

Its interesting how springy a brick wall can be. Suddenly I'm not as thrilled I live in a brick house 🤔

@peon9282

Well, these bricks are just there to cover the concrete walls, so they aren‘t holding any weight and therefore you can just peel them from the concrete wall. Also a solid brick building usually has thicker walls.

Frustrating to watch him pull down the brick facade when he could be pulling down pillars and walls. Like going after the wallpaper instead of the walls.

The bricks crumbles like brownies

why does the building still have power hook up to it during demolition? check around 13:40s mark and later on past the 15 minutes mark. there is a light bulb that is still on and it's clearly visible.

Usually, you scrap out the interior first. There's a lot of metal in there...
