This is pretty cool. But I just watched paint dry for an hour.

They need one of these. Has a jackhammer head to break up the concrete.

Shear doesn't have enough reach to do it safely I'm assuming. Not to mention their blades don't last very long on concrete.

What’s the purpose of the tire on the cable?

Keep the impact shocks from traveling to the boom I assume.


Looks like the TV station doesn't want to pay a camera crew to sit out there for a few more days. Using a feed from a highway camera now.

Speaking of Tony Beets, couldn't they just get a big arse cable, put it around that thing in a U shape, and have two big caterpillars just pull it over? If they need to get the cable up higher just have a helicopter lift it.

No ball busting yet... I guess the union boss hasn't signed off yet...

from the WFAA article

quote:

Nabors Demo said the wrecking ball alone is not supposed to demolish what’s left of the building. They told WFAA that the wrecking ball will take the remaining structure down four to five floors. Then crews will use a high-reach excavator, which is already on-site, to finish the job.

Some have wondered why a bigger crane wasn’t brought in to handle a bigger wrecking ball. Nabors Demo told WFAA that due to “size constraints of the site” and “crane availability,” crews had to use the current crane and wrecking ball.
