Purdue needed the building's footprint to construct an important new addition to the school, and yet in the name of progress we continue to destroy more and more vestiges of our industrial technological history which is fast-disappearing. In the early 20th c.when this facility was built, plants such as this with their tall, brick, Stirling watertube boilers and steam-powered turbo-generators were the most efficient way to supply heat, hot water, and electricity to large numbers of users. In addition to their functionality, they were also compact and built with architectural sophistication and a type of rugged beauty. Instead of one type of common brick, this plant included extra-cost white keystones and capstones,, highly-stylized brick arrangements, and other decorative touches designed to make the building blend-in with its surroundings. If such a facility were built today, it would probably be apurely functional design w/added on architectural touches, not a built-in integrated design where engineering and architecture meet in seamless good taste. If we keep removing such structures from the landscape, there will be little to remind us of the history of America's industrial infrastructure, and that would be a terrible, permanent loss.

It looks like it was probably built around the Great Depression. The building does not want to come down easy. They built things to last back then.

I would have felt more at ease If they let the students in the demolition minor help out, they need hands on, and its their school or rather they are part of the family, senior projects are just that, so let them take the buildings down or help out, we have students helping on some projects at IPFW well as far as surveying and the like sometimes, its part of their education, let them take care of their own.

It will be all the crane can handle at that height and reach. Crane capacity is dictated by the height and position of the jib.

@silentepsilon8886 жыл бұрын
this operator has no clue how to run this machine. Just before the impact, the jib should already be swinging back out again to pull the ball away and just before it swings all the way out, the jib should be coming back toward the building. Instead, he takes one hit, then lets everything settle down and then starts anew. He never gets a good flowing rhythm going.

You do not just aimlessly swing the ball back & forth like a madman. You calculate where your next ball impact will be. Gimmie a break. Swinging back and forth aimlessly will have the ball swinging freely or bring the crane down. This is National Wrecking Co. They are the best and thet damn well know what they're doing son.
