What happens here
The team reaches the actual 'floating staircase,' which is a dilapidated concrete structure reinforced with rebar, appearing to hang precariously from the hillside. They highlight the rebar content, which makes demolition more complex than simple concrete removal. The structure is part of an old limestone wall. The concrete floating staircase contains rebar and is attached to a limestone wall.
Goal: Understand the composition and structural integrity of the staircase for demolition planning.
Tools and materials
- Concrete floating staircase N/A — The main object of demolition
- Limestone wall N/A — The structure the staircase is attached to, requiring careful demolition to avoid damage
- Rebar N/A — Reinforcing the concrete, making demolition more difficult
