Excavator on 600 feet Cooling Tower (remote-controlled)

Excavator on 600 feet Cooling Tower (remote-controlled)

Because a blast was out of the question, the 162 meters high cooling tower of the former Mülheim-Kärlich nuclear power plant was cleared from above with a remote-controlled excavator piece by piece. After falling below a height of approx. 80 meters, a demolition excavator finally brought the cooling tower down from the ground on August 9, 2019.

Comments: -- Who thought this was a good idea Lmao they better be paying close to 100 an hour

well they ruined everything, that dude on that cutter at least had a job for next 20 years

Excavator company: " We're going to put an excavator on top of a 600 foot cooling tower with a wall thickness of about 3 feet and bite away a little at a time"

It's like watching a man made caterpillar chew away through concrete

You know someones paid by the hour when they get the smallest pincers they can. It's like mowing the lawn with a pair of scissors.

At first, I thought the thumbnail was fake but wow, didnt know that an excavator could do that, what a job

Hello every on, I am wondering what are those huge concrete stractures When and for what purposes were they made Anyone can please explaine me! Thank you very much in advance
