Building Demolition (Time Lapse)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins with an introduction from the presenter, standing in front of a large yellow Kobelco excavator. He explains the goal of the project: to demolish an old barn, carport, or garage that previously stood where the excavator is now positioned. He emphasizes the importance of using the excavator's bucket and thumb attachment like a 'giant arm' to carefully dismantle the structure, ensuring debris falls precisely where intended for safety and control, especially when buildings are close to other structures. The presenter highlights that this method ensures an orderly and safe demolition process.

Goal: Understand the project scope and primary demolition method.

okay so what you don't see behind me today is a building there used to be a barn SLC carport SL garage sitting right where the excavator is in a few seconds what you're going to see is how we use this excavator to remove those buildings what we do is we very carefully use the thumb and the bucket like a giant arm to come in and dismantle these structures so we can get them to fall exactly where we need to many times in the past we've come up against buildings that are literally within feet of each other and this is the machine that we use you can see the bucket over here this is the machine we use to make sure that everything falls exactly as we need to in a safe orderly fashion so check out our timelapse photography it shows you exactly how we did the process on
