No, a superb recovery would of used floating booms around the recovery area to contain the oil and diesel clearly seen drifting off from the equipment. I am very surprised containment procedures were not used.
i think it is not too expensive... there are the divers go down up to only -20m?, the crane and the some people... i think there more projects there more expensive like this
i have repaired a sunken CAT 320E from Norway. Hydraulics ok, engine stuck and must be overhauled, but most important - electronics is a nighmare. Only engine ecm survived, monitor, right panel, a/c panel and main ecm must be replaced. Cost about 20000EUR. spent 100 hours of labour on it and still i don't know what and when will stop work. machine bought as a scrap so it was cheap, but i not recommend reworking machine from salty water. all wires copper and zinc plated parts should be replaced - very expensive. what is curious - DPF after starting engine throw out water, dried and was functioning well :D
I know they got the excavators as close as possible to the edge. I am still impressed with the lifting abilities of the cranes. I have seen so many crane fail videos of lighter lifts with disastrous consequences. Shows good planning. Good operators. Nice job! Nice job filming too!
Beyond wow! Those inflatables were critical! Looked like very little disruption in, on and around the narrow two-lane roadway. The technicians and all parties involved in the recovery of the 2 super expensive excavators are to paid well, promoted and commended. Oh, how did the machines(Volvo & CAT) fare once cleaned up and overhauled?
I would think it was a matter of having to recover them, no matter the cost and who was paying because of enviromental reason.. they will be full of diesel, engine & hydraulic oil.. over time they will escape and cause problems..
they have been in water over 8 months.. if you look at 00:40 or so you can see they did.. that little oil you see at recovery is probably just from a ripped hose or something minor. just 1 dl of fuel in water looks worse than this so chill.
It's believed between 14,000 and 64,000 gallons of oil have leaked from the USS Arizona since the attack, and the National Park Service estimates it could continue to leak for 500 years.😲
When looking at this from the water view it looked totally safe. When looking down from the birds eye view you can see if there is any rock inconsistency lifting the 329 would test those faults when the load was furthest from the shore. The crane must have been close to it's limit when out first picking the load up. That last machine even had soil on the top. It apparently rolled underwater thus cushioning the impact.
The recovery= 60k The bounty= 760k The profit=700k New=1million, the insurance company knows the true numbers, but it probably looks similar to these numbers.
That is crazy stuff...how the heck they get those excavators to that cliff and not to mention the two unbelievable lifts. That was surely a gargantuan effort 👍
What? I thought this was going to be one of the those "Recovery crane falls into the water" videos. Bugger. Kudos to the crane operator. Knows his stuff!.
Oddly enough, I enjoyed the first song in the video more than the video itself because I first heard it probably close to 20 years ago on a goofy surreal flash video about a submarine and had no idea it was from Das Boot. Auslaufen.
Yeah we need it back videnskab.dk/files/styles/columns_12_12_desktop/public/article_media/kort_over_danmarks_besiddelser_siden_vikingetiden.jpg?itok=3XxyuUyB×tamp=1491424972 Norway needs to be part of the world's oldest kingdom and the oldest flag on the planet, yet again. but so does England and Sweden and all those old danish regions.
get 1,000s of lengths of bamboo and place under machine then lift. The bamboo are made of hollow cells and act as lifting equipment. Durring the time of the Flying Tigers in China during WWII, one of the planes went down in a river. efforts were made to recover the plane by cranes and "modern" methods. No luck. the local villagers asked if they could try, having nothing to lose the military said OK. Diver after diver took bamboo down and put under the wings. They then passed a long rope under the aircraft and pulled. Soon the plane popped to the surface. Newer aint always better
I'm suprised they recovered them, surely the recovery cost would have been more than what they were worth, great video though, as a former diver, would have liked to have seen them rigging the air bags
This reminds me of a time that our family business ,had virtually the same thing happen . In 1983 we lost over ,$400 ,000 worth of specialized boring bits . We had been boring a 36 inch tunnel.to divert water through , for a small turbine ,that made electricity. When we retracted them ,out of the bore hole , we stacked them on unstable ground ," we knew better , but it was a Friday at quit time," that weekend it poured the rain , and a small slide jumped out . Well the slide carried the bits with it . It was about a 20.acre small lake . We didn't have the technology then as they do today, to aid in retrieval. We tried everything we could think of . Everything from purchasing a 10 ton electro magnet , to a crane with a grapple and even a small barge , that drug the bottom. Needless to say , we never found a one of them. This video made me think, man if we were to have had that ROV , It would have saved us over half a million bucks . O well ,we live and learn.
Be careful in your work, sir, keep your sefty, I am an excavator heavy equipment operator too ... Greetings, steel nails And greetings, two hands, sir, let's support each other
So how much to get them running again and what would the process be? Flotation bladders got them up? I would have closed the road down each way but that's just me.
I love how they have Johnny deep sea diver and they portray it is though he's 60 fathoms down in the ocean when in fact he's two feet underwater in some fjord
