| 638842 | 2008-02-09 08:40:00 | Very good Metla. I do wonder about 777.jpg Hopefully the driver of the excavator in the background is changing an attachment or possibly not. There does not seem to be a bucket, hook, claw or anything. The driver of the excavator in the foreground appears to have a never used attachment. |

There does not seem to be a bucket, hook, claw or anything. The driver of the excavator in the foreground appears to have a never used attachment. Don't quite follow you there, There are three diggers in photo 777, The one in the background can't be seen apart from the bucket which is being used to hold the wall, The digger in the middle has a shear attachment, Used to crush the concrete into dust and cut through steel beams and rebar, The operator is rotating it when the picture was taken so he could get an appropriate grip on the main beam along the top of the wall, which he crushed and dropped into the building, then continued to repeat the action on each section of the wall in order to being it down in a controlled manner....well, untill the height was taken out of the wall, Then we yanked it over. The closest digger has a grab attachment, We built that in our workshop about 20 years ago, shes been used a few times. |

And trust me , You don't want a job in demo, Very few get to drive the big gear, Nearly everybody else gets to use Jackhammer's, concrete saws, sledgehammers, demolition bars, load trucks by hand, carry heavy crap down 5 flights of stairs, work with asbestos, work at heights, etc etc etc. And in return they get pushed hard and paid little.:eek: |

| 638845 | 2008-02-09 09:50:00 | Reminds me of the days when a company in Ch Ch called Ryan Bros loaded all their trucks diggers etc on the Lyttleton to Wellington over night ferry on a friday night came back Sunday night and in between time demolished a 4 or 5 story building in the middle of Wellington. Poor office workers from adjacent buildings went home Fri. came to work Mon. to find what was a building, now a smooth car park. This same company got the 6 month contract for the Haast Pass Road in South Westland and completed it in 6 weeks. I believe they then sort of retired and developed a machine to suck out all the deep holes in a river near Arrowtown that the gold diggers could not reach. Shows my age:horrified of course but a fantastic company to get things done. Be neat if the same efficiency was still around today in some areas. RMA would stop that of course::mad: :mad: |
