For us sparks who just enjoy watching someone do the job properly, after all we all learn from each other and every day is a school day, you are the best on here. No constant plugging of products, just a craftsman sharing his craft with others. Keep it up mate, we appreciate it.
That previously intro was absolute 🔥I loved the drama and suspense it created. Not only is your sparkie game on point. Your production and editing is mint mate. 10/10 would recommend
Thanks Mike! My many hats before medical retirement included 25 years in a Australian Govt building construction fire test and research facility, and 40 years as a fire-fighter. That fire door did its stuff with the Intumescent seals. Another thing to look at are the penetrations of slabs where fire collars / bags are fitted. We did am comparison of many brands and it was interesting to see how effective or ineffective some are. A portable building (portacabin in UK?) in a building site went up in flames near us and it was interesting to see that the testing we did mirrored what we saw on the site. Cheers
Great to see - what a difference between floors and fire door. Earth rod was a brilliant video, been watching electrical vids for past 2-3 years and first one over ever seen for testing the rods.
Another great video Mike. Very informative. I remember doing similar switch rooms when I was doing all the Tesco new builds 20 or so years ago. I’d love to go back to the industrial installs like that with all the big switch gear, ladder rack and huge cables!! Proper job satisfaction. Top job mate 👌
Thanks Mike for focusing on the educational side of things & explaining more to new electricians rather than just getting the perfect angles & what not…… It’s a gem for anybody starting out in the industry thanks for sharing this video your a legend 👍
That office looks like a good reason for a decent pyro job.... Reminds me of a printing plant in Stuttgart that went up in flames; the heat was so intense even the structural steelwork was just twisted metal. Cause was thought to be a faulty forklift charger.
Top video Mike mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Wow that was one raging inferno by the looks of it. Just goes to show how resilient SWA is. I would imagine that would have been 90 degree thermosetting to have withstood that level of heat for so long and still get good I.R. Results despite the sheathing being distorted. That panel looked a bit awkward to get that earth cable bolted up but you did a great job as always mate. Keep the great content coming mate 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Interesting to see, that you still need to use lugs. Why is Schneider not able to provide suitable clamps integrates in their equipment? Just like Wago or Phoenix...
IT is gonna have a REALL fun job replacing all that kit, as an Ex IT guy it breaks my heart to see all those monitors and TVs Destroyed, but hey. no human life was lost and thats more important!
Anyone got some marshmallows? Thou jokes asside, was there even sprinklers? I am astounded at how much the fire spread in such a modern-looking building That area where they reckon the fire started looks like an IT area, maybe an "IT Shop", what are the odds it was a lappy with a puffy battery that went pop. Fucking impressive that the smoke door held for 7 hrs at the worst of it 🤯if memory miserves me correctly, fire doors are only _required_ to hold for 2 hrs
Doesn’t have to be it depends on the design and spec, we have a rather thorough designer at the company so our circuit design tends to be belt and braces 👍🏼
Great video, also obviously the material will not be Up to standard after the fire but the majority of what was in the lower part of the room will be able to work again. For a 7 hour fire I'm surprised at what's still intact from the fire. Also no concrete isn't really resistant to fire, a lot of tests have to be done to know if a building is still structurally sound after a fire

Ur back as the best, highest quality electrical channel imo
Thanks man!

I’m so glad I don’t have to gland cables 😂😂 I’m too much of a dope to deal with dealing with the armour terminations
Haha you’d be sweet at it mate you work live for a living 😂👏🏼
@@residualelectrical 😂😂 I just don’t think I have the patience for this 😂😂

The refit is going to be wicked to do
Thanks Mike I really enjoyed that
That fire was savage 👊
I've been involved in a few fire guts on and a couple of them were in industrial and commercial over here across the pond
That office looks like a good reason for a decent pyro job....
Reminds me of a printing plant in Stuttgart that went up in flames; the heat was so intense even the structural steelwork was just twisted metal. Cause was thought to be a faulty forklift charger.
Nice video Mike, nice to see you back.
Excellent video Mate thank you for taking us with you
Anytime 👊🏼
Godbless consistent Mike, best in the game
🙏🏼
Loving the regular video 👌🏻
Only watch 3-4 electric TH-camrs and yours has always been one of them
Thanks Ronny!
0:10 oooh, somebody's been doing an editing course 😁
Hahaha I wish, it’s been nice to flex the creative muscles though!
Top video Mike mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks man!!
Great video Mike, no white pen yet. did you have a go with Tony's exhaust cutter and straps?
No exhaust cutter yet, gonna order one!
Loving all this new content great to have you back posting regularly again!
It’s good to be back, thanks!
17:08 😆😆 No I guess we shouldn't joke about it,I was in the same room as one of those going off & it was fking terrifying.Work safe people.⚡⚡⚡
Hey Mike do you think we'll get 1st & 2nd fix videos of that job down the track? certainly hope so,love big commercial jobs.
Great quality content as always Mike 👍🏻
Thanks!
Can you imagine if the wiring was stroon across the ceiling grid like you see a lot of the time. 😮 Metal containment fully justifiable.
Great video again, interesting to see the devastation looking forward to your next one.
Glad you found it as interesting as I did!
i used to do this stuff . Heavy work.
Looks like a sever cabinet or the battery backup APC caused the fire.
Interesting to see, that you still need to use lugs. Why is Schneider not able to provide suitable clamps integrates in their equipment? Just like Wago or Phoenix...
Those small hydraulic crimpers look good, where they from mate?
How did the fire start?
Sounded like he said it was in the telephone/IT equipment area. So electrical.
It could of been a power over ethernet switch.
If it was in the IT storage area could even have been a laptop battery gone bad
Do you get to put that old submain cable in you van 😁
What happened to the Milwaukee wrench mate?
Hi Mike,
What is that hardhat / safety glasses combo you've got?
Great video as always!
32:37
Thanks mate, it’s a Milwaukee bolt vented hard hat and compact visor 👊🏼
Great video. Good some commercial work on here for a change.
Thanks 👍🏼
IT is gonna have a REALL fun job replacing all that kit, as an Ex IT guy it breaks my heart to see all those monitors and TVs Destroyed, but hey. no human life was lost and thats more important!
I do like the milwaukee hard hate mate.👌🏻
Great video again Thanks
How could nobody get there? I thought the fire brigade would have automatically been called
Yeah the systems really fell flat 🤦🏼♂️
I bet bamo is the most popular apprentice in his class working with you 😂
Anyone got some marshmallows?

No sprinkler system, crazy thou eh!
Yeah that fire door did soo well!
why does there have to be a separate earth now with the armoured?
Doesn’t have to be it depends on the design and spec, we have a rather thorough designer at the company so our circuit design tends to be belt and braces 👍🏼
Great job 😎
Cheers rich!
What hard hat do you use bro & gloves
Milwaukee bolt 200, gloves are site supplied, pro tech or something
Those box of tissues made from asbestos?? 😂
Where’s the helmet from
Milwaukee bolt 200
Where’s your helmet from Mike?
Milwaukee bolt 200, gonna do a vid on it as I’ve had a lot of interest 👊🏼
Struggling to understand why you wouldn’t use your own screwdriver to clean out your own hole saw ?
I have a interchangeable set that I wanted to keep nice, don’t worry I’ve given jay a fresh set of Boddingtons screwdrivers 👍🏼
@@residualelectrical that’s kind of you . Wasn’t a dig just a question 🙋
28 days later remake
I think mikes got a point

Yeah for sure, lots to be done!
