Testa Corp Wrecks Tower #3

Testa Corp's southern division tackles tower #3 of 4 blast furnaces at a rail yard in Virginia. The 100 foot tall steel cylinder is packed with 5000 yards of fire brick and must be precut with oxy/propane torches.

Using a 200-ton Komatsu 1250PC mounted with Jewell High Reach with a 20 foot extension, a CAT 345C and an active crew of 4 taking down these towers is continuing at a steady clip.

Before the systematic demolition can start clean up of tower 2 must be completed.

Most demolition projects feature a dramatic tear down of key building elements, however one those are down it can take months to complete the project by just cleaning up the wreckage.

Featuring the talents of Mike on the 1250, Josh on the 345, Jeff as lead mechanic and ADT driver and Stan wielding the torch.

This was shot over 5 days using RealTime HD Video, Tilt Shilft DSLR Timelapse and MPEG Timelapse.
