Ammonia Nitrate tanks
Third of 4 videos of this quarter section coming down.
Ammonia Nitrate Tanks coming down after 45 years
OSHA would be screaming. Two guys who work for a local commercial contracting company are doing this in their spare time. ZERO safety gear other than gloves and one guy wearing cutting goggles when torching. They might have steel toe boots on. Not a hard hat in sight. No yellow or orange safety (high visibility) clothing. Company is letting them use their heavy equipment at a rate of $40 per machine hour. I don't think either guy has an Operator's License for the crane. The owner of the tanks gave them to these two guys to "scrap." He has ZERO clue of the liability he carries on this.
A week and a half ago we noticed our yard flooded very heavily in the back ditch. Upon it staying up for more than two days I went to investigate and discovered water bubbling up out of the ground. Turns out these guys using the track hoe with claw to pound the steel tank sections flat had broken our water main. The pounding was so hard it shook our house. Security cameras were bounding. We got 6" of rain in 30 hours. The bedrock under our yard/house is 8-11' down. On top was waterlogged soil that carries shock waves a LONG distance. We are concerned they could crack our house foundation.
I will be uploading several videos of the demolition. Four from this evening laying down the quarter section, and several from the past couple of weeks.
I cringe as I watch them do this. This section is about one fourth of the tank. The first tank they took down in 5-6' wide sections, 40' tall. Tanks are close to 1/2" thick on bottom layer and graduate down to 1/4" at the top. Five sections tall.
I am uploading these just because it's something you don't get to see every day.
