Then it was 'Just' a case of trenching down the two remaining sides. One side is adjacent to a stream so it was a bit long winded having to build up safe platforms for the digger to prevent it (and me :bugeye:) going into the stream. On the other side I had to concentrate on NOT going through the water and mains cables :clap: Then a quick clean up and I think things are ready for concrete breaking :scratch: |

All of those bolts! Good luck! Matthew. |

Yippee, The saga continues Andrew. I had forgotten this was on the reading list. As usual, I think there will be much to report if your track record so far continues. I, along with many others I assume look forward to the next chapter. Good luck with the demolition and future build. John B |

Well the splendid Mr Pete turned up today as promised with a REALLY superb toy. Essentially a tracked machine with hydraulic arm and an enormous pecker on the end (no naughty comments in the back please ) Made by Brokk and driven by a 32 amp 415v 3 phase supply its used for demolition where keeping the operator away from the action is a sensible safety precaution. In my case the operator was Pete, and how obviously skilled he is, making short work of demolishing the 20 panels of the tank - breaking them out of the embedded concrete. His years of experience certainly shone through.We had one setback, with a burst hydraulic hose, but cool as a cucumber he got a spare from his van, and performed the complicated task of threading it though the innards or the machine, restoring service. |

As the vibration of the breaker shook the tank, it was obvious that it was in a terrible unusable state - no great loss! |
