Demolition Project with Before, During and After Timelapse

What happens here

The operator uses the ASV RT-75 skid-steer to spread the newly dumped dirt around the pool area. This rough grading establishes the initial contours and fills the main void. This is identified as 'compression compaction', an important part of pool demolition to prevent future settling. He emphasizes the need for 'just right' compaction, not too much or too little.

Goal: Spread and compact backfill dirt in the pool area

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Skid-Steer Loader ASV — Spreading and compacting dirt
  • Dirt — Backfill and compaction

that's one sweet spot once he gets that soil compression compact he wants to start clearing space so that's our red truck in the background that double hauls meaning that he's gonna load it up with concrete then it's gonna go drop that off pick up dirt and come back we don't like to have a truck running empty any time that we can possibly avoid it so we always put a load on one way or expect him to have a load coming the other way when we're doing a swimming-pool demo like this about it I've had so many trucks with that old school gate latch works every time no PTO to go out like you've done [Music] nothing wrong with that now make sure that this guy doesn't go hey don't go too far forward you got power lines in front of you box is clean go down common mistake another common mistake truck drivers make is driving down the road with their PPO engaged boxes down the PTO stays engaged and then if they bump the PTO lever it'll start to go up that looks like good material Tim oh holy crap you're gonna have this done then you're gonna get overwhelmed yeah so I got to get some fool busted out and so I might have to take some stuff out on the road Collins have you ever thought about just getting a dumpster leaving a dumpster out here and just filling up a dumpster yeah so on a dumpster even a 40-yard dumpster you can only put ten tons in and so really you're wasting space because with concrete like for the debris log that doesn't take up that much space so yeah only reason I mentioned it is people in the comments before mentioned about using a dumpster and I thought ah that's great and I remember all the houses we do dump we do I know this is one of the first houses I ever demo 40 yard dumpsters concrete and everything and the guy the driver shows
