:confused: Maybe trying to recycle some of the materials....wait....no, that can't be right. |
Re: deconstruction
It's in deference to the fond memories of its patrons: it took a lot of effort to erect it, so let it come down gracefully.

:confused: The concrete is usually recycled by crushing it and using it for roads, the steel is recycled also. |
Re: deconstruction
So the demolitiomn is definitely going ahead, then. Just glad that I didn't accept the offer of the Xmas Dinner and Overnight Accommodation package for only Dhs1,000 per head being offered by some guy in a local pub recently.

At least the pool is still open.

Re: deconstruction
Well at least this way, it is a reasonably quiet demolition.

:confused: All other demolitions was with a wrecking ball / plus sign shaped concrete wrecking weight. It was such a tedious pracrice that I thought the guy operating the crane must being going nuts with the repetetive nature of the work....lift drop...lift drop...lift drop....ad-nauseum. 'Course there is some thinking involved in figuring where to drop , but still soo mind numbingly boring work. |
