[CheeseHead]

Enough of demo for awhile, time to post other equipment. (Cranes,Hoes,etc..)

[bobcat ron]

Gotta get a pic of it hitting the ground!

[bobcat ron]

What are those piles for that the loaders were dumping over the deck for?

[N.CarolinaDozer]

It would have cool if they where close together and knocked one down with a machine and let the rest fall like domino's!:woohoo

[N.CarolinaDozer]

Thats what you call team work there!

[bushcat]

That's alot of equipment in a small area!

[DigDug]

Nice pics again cheesehead !! I like the demo ones best, keep them coming.

[ben46a]

I would imagin its crusher run that was stockpilled there to be used for protection of the roadbed below as well as a place for the machines to sit when the bridge becomes to weak to hold them.

[Dozerboy]

Should of been cake with all that Iron. I can take down 60' of a 3 lane bridge in 4 hrs. and another 4 to process it and load it out. Thats with 2 hoes and a loader 1 hoe operator and 1 lever puller to "run" the loader.

You missed the reply or didnt quite undersand it.
The road below would be subject to an overnight closure and speed of demo would be of the essense in order to get an undamaged road open ASAP. The stone would appear to have been trucked in ready to as near as they could get it. The loaders then dumped it over the side to use as a crash mat underneath the deck that is being demoed. The exc will also be able to travel around on it to proccess and load away the rubble, Then the wheeled loaders no doubt clear up, give it a pass with a sweeper and half the punters down the road in the morning wont even notice the bridge is gone :D
In the UK we use a sand carpet about a metre thick at times.

Cool shots,keep them coming.

[insleyboy]

Gotcha atlasrob. They use sand here in a lot of cases, but in the many I have demo'd, they just let it fall then worry about the scrapes and gouges on the pavement below later.It's not easy loading out all that steel and concrete and not scratching up the freeway!A few times we used a grapple to pull out the re-bar best you could first. Problem was sometimes the tight areas would not allow you the room you need to get all that twisted re-bar out of there...power lines, embutaments.....open lanes of traffic.Love the nighttime pics. They sure weren't shy about dispatching the whole fleet to get that sucker down were they?
