What happens here

To break up the concrete pool shell, a large excavator lifts and drops heavy boulders directly into the pool. This is an innovative and powerful method, used as an alternative to a standard concrete jackhammer. The narrator highlights its efficiency in shattering the concrete into smaller, more manageable pieces for subsequent removal.

Goal: Break the concrete pool structure into smaller pieces.
