Part 1. Demolition of the old headquarters of the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland.
The oldest parts of the building were constructed in 1957. Here is a bit more about it:

Watching this helps me with my depression for some reason .
I'm gunna start watching more of this ..thank you .
destruction generally releases dopamine in the brain; hence why those rage rooms are so popular..
Call me odd but I like the architecture of these 1950's and 60's mid-century office buildings. All the ledges, many angles, and color of the brick with concrete trim makes for interesting exteriors. The interiors most likely are boring though.
As I'm sure you know, usually the mechanicals and the HVAC systems and the windows are so far out of compliance with current standards they just can't be brought up to date at reasonable cost.
So the planning department had to plan a plan to take to the planning department in which to plan the plan to plan the demolition of the planning department according to plan.
That's the plan!
John, thanks for including the address and the name of the enterprise. Makes it much easier for locals to place the location. thanks again.
Ein absoluter Profi am Arbeiten, selten so einen guten Abriss gesehen!!
Naja, schnell zusammenkloppen kann jeder. Und du kannst dir sicher sein, dass hier ausser Metall (was Geld bringt) nichts recyclet wurde und alles auf der Deponie gelandet ist.
So I reckon they had to go to a planning department to get a demolition permit to demolish this planning department?
Wrong tool used for materials separation at the start. That was a concrete/brick muncher. You need a selector grab, graptor, or thin bucket with a thumb.
Great job on getting things ready for recycled.
Well done video, John. Thanks.
I've never seen that tool being used in the opening shots. A bit later the operator pulling the brick veneer down is amazing. Every time he snuggles the bucket in front of the window frame, pushing it in so he can pull down the bricks cleanly.
Having grown up in earthquake country (California), I'm always surprised at how little the masonry veneer is secured to the structure in this region, as you see with those fake brick and stone columns. And I'm surprised at how easily the steel structure fails at the connections, though it did resist in a few cases.
At 50:00 there is a multi-story residential building behind, and to my amazement there is nobody on those balconies taking in the free entertainment! :-)
The attachment was left on the excavator when it was brought in from the previous job. It was only used for part of a day before the grapple arrived and it was swapped out. Perhaps someone knows if it is usually used as a concrete crusher or pulverizer.
@@JohnZWetmore That‘s indeed a primitive form of a concrete crusher. (primitive in that sense as it doesn‘t have it‘s own hydraulics). I wonder if one day, fully hydraulic quick couplers will arrive in the US. They have been around for more than 20 years , and make things so much easier especially in demolition.
@@peon9282 You're correct, its an old (outdated) concrete muncher. Here in the UK and Europe the modern hydraulic versions are standard bits of kit - you'd be thrown off site using a bucket for demo and potentially damaging the teeth!
Also Yes to Fully Automatic Quick Hitch :)
wow you caught it at the very beginning great work!
Thanks. Friends in the area let me know when the excavators were delivered.
@@JohnZWetmore nice collections of komatsus between case,kubota,komatsu there the 3 best products
What a shame we live in disposable USA
And to be replaced by cheaply built cardboard and sawdust apartments at highly inflated prices
Yeah, let's keep these 50+ year old abandoned buildings up! Who needs modernization and housing when we can have blight and havens for rodents.
My favourite kind of demolition!, no messing about, just smash the hell out of it!
How it was done in Europe 50 years ago😂
Neuer Kran .damit es schneller geht ?
No, no, not that building, that's the wrong one!
Sorry boss, hopefully they aren't too mad
I've always wondered why there is no effort made to get/keep ordinary window glass out of the debris stream from a teardown like this. Yeah, it would be plenty of work to do.
i wonder when this building was in the planning stages, way back when, with all the raising money, and whatever else it took to get that building erected. And here we are. All for nought.
Would have been cheaper to get 2 blokes to take all windows out then just pulled building down.
All that messing around.

The water is to help control the dust.
