In this episode, Aaron and the gang visit Atlantic Coast Dismantling in Jersey City, New Jersey. On this project, they are dismantling the old Wittpenn Bridge. The old Wittpenn Bridge was built from 1927-1930. There is a newly constructed bridge, also named the Wittpenn Bridge, that was recently finished and open to traffic. Hence, the demolition of the old bridge.
In this video, the crew is working on removing some of the concrete deck from the bridge. So that the concrete doesn’t fall into the river, a barge is under the girders, catching all of the falling debris. Once the barge is “full” of rubble, the excavators on top stop hammering, and the crew down below cleans the debris from the barge.

Love that energy and excitement in presenting the projectS. It is amazing what these contractors do. When I worked for a national company as a Development Officer for senior living facilities, the one thing I learned and appreciated more and took for granted was the infrastructure that nobody sees. You are bringing much of it to life. Thank you!

That project is enormous and vital to the northeast as a whole. Its part of the approach to the Holland Tunnel entering Manhattan/NYC via lower Rt 139, Route 1&9 North, Jersey City local streets. The old Witt Pen Bridge was a tight 4 lane bridge with no shoulders where many people sadly met their demise over the years from head on collisions resulting in crippling traffic in the region. A small army of construction workers have completed the impossible in the most congested roadway in the United States-bless them.

I worked on this bridge before the new one went into service. Got to go up top a couple times at new and once or twice in the day. It still opened up seamlessly (and oddly silently). The views up there were great. Lane closures at night were not as fun with 10 fight lanes on blind curves, only a double yellow separating traffic coming the opposite way and trucks routinely crossing over the double yellow. I don't love the way the have to dimantle it, but I'm not sure there is a better way.

I’m not even close to being in the Dirt world job wise. Currently working at a lumber place as Outside Sales and going to school for flight training. But man this stuff is cool I love every part of large machinery, planes, excavators, trucks, bulldozers, everything. Always had an interest in any thing so massive in scale that makes our world possible that not a lot of people realize. Love the channel and the insta Aaron. Keep it up!!

dude all the video of the mini..... go talk to a crane operator or an anything at all operator, laborer, or foreman. See if someone who's been working on the project would be willing to walk the camera through a complete process. For instance, the process you described that is performed for removal of demolished waste. That would have been a great time lapse, or cut to as being described by one of the guys on site.

Or just pump water/ballast in the barge till its low enough.
@chriswielenga9882
@chriswielenga9882 Год назад
Excuse my inexperience on demolition: can’t you somehow cut and lift small sections out rather than jackhammer it to pieces; like saw partway through, give the section a good thumping to crack the seams and then lift out🤷‍♂️. What about very controlled small explosives?
@user-bu2mn8do6v
@user-bu2mn8do6v Год назад
Sawing partly trough is not what i would prefer because its hard to estimate the weight but also to calculate if it keeps enough strength to keep it a "controlled demolition" , If you want to stay in safe numbers you'll risk the thumping isnt sufficient enough. Then you end up having a bridge thats too strong for the thumping but too weak to support excavators with jackhammers(also due the unknown factor of vibrations) Also: diamond cutting aint cheap considering they would need to catch all the water before it reaches the river and with those steel beams youll need a lot of water and still have high wear on your tools. Small explosives is probably not a good idea this close next to a active railroad
@chriswielenga9882

@amandazanca3109
@amandazanca3109 Год назад
Most of the beams have studs sticking out so only a small amount of the concrete falls onto the barge a majority of the concrete falling is breaking it off of those studs and then flip a big piece back cut the rebar…

Don't you like videos they produce? Someone has to do that, it's work. I don't get the impression that Aaron and his crew are doing anything other than documenting these works. They're always respectful and learning as they go. They have to wear PPE to be on site, and having them wear branded stuff helps keep others from confusing them with site workers. Why the hate?
