AOL HQ Wrecking Ball (Part 11)

[@Clownler]

Parts 2-9? Or are we just skipping numbers now?

[@JohnZWetmore]

You must be watching the Wrecking Ball playlist. In Parts 2-9 the wrecking ball wasn't used, so they aren't on that playlist. Here is Part 2, and you can find a link to the next part in the End Screens at the end.

I can't understand why a building made primarily of steel is demolished by ball and chain when a metal shear on a high reach excavator would be better.

[@mariotorres6287]

It's a case of "run what you brung." The operator is a good one; I've seen him in person, and he knows what he's doing. He's making good progress on this job. I agree that a high-reach demo excavator with a shear would be a good choice for this steel-framed building, especially for taking out the columns, but, once again, the contractor felt the job could be handled with crane-and-ball.

@@mariotorres6287 maybe sometimes it's also a question of cost. A proven, depreciated machine is so much cheaper per hour than an expensive new excavator that you can take a little longer.
