What happens here

The contractor manually picks up a piece of the pool's bottom material, describing it as a 'gunnite bottom' and explaining its properties. He notes that the material 'crumples' easily and would turn into 'powder' when dry. This characteristic is crucial for their demolition method, as it means the material can be broken down and left in place as part of the backfill. Meanwhile, a worker in the pool continues to manually remove wooden sections, referred to as 'toads', from the pool structure.

Goal: Understand the properties of the pool's base material for demolition.

Tools and materials

  • Skid-steer loader Caterpillar — Operating in the background, assisting with material handling
  • Gunnite material — The base material of the pool being assessed
  • Wooden 'toads' — Sections of wood being manually removed from the pool structure
