It's just another fancy word for breaking big hunks of concrete into little hunks of concrete but instead of charging $30 per yard you can charge $60 per yard. If you want all the details go get the DOE publication entitled "Accelerated Southside D&D Strategy" written by the DOE dated June 2002. In it you will find descriptions, pretty pictures and diagrams which will educate you all about it.

Can you give us the ISDN # of the document. I wouldn't mind taking a gander at it.

I can't find that number anywhere in the document. PM me your e-mail addy and I will send you a copy.

It gets even better. Call a run of the mill track drill a "Vertical Percussive Rotary Cavitation Affector" and you can double your rental rates. And if nobody else has a VPRCA then you can be sole sourced.

At the risk of being childishly chastised and being accused of having a little man's complex, I'll say this.

So, if I understand correctly, you can call blasting " to harmonically delaminate concrete" and you can call a track drill a "Vertical Percussive Rotary Cavitation Affector" and then you can charge $60/CY for $30/CY concrete? Sounds like good business to me.

Last time I checked, the good old USA was still a capitalist counrty. If you can get twice as much for something by giving it a clever name...more power to you!

“GOD COMPLEX AHEAD!”

I am watching this thread very carefully.

Members who slam other members will not be tolerated. We do not want the forum to be a place where members and potential new members will get “slammed” just for asking the wrong question, giving an incorrect answer, giving incorrect information, or having a different opinion.

Please watch the personal attacks and “so-called” name calling. I believe we are all grown adults here.

We as a “COMMUNITY” on a whole should take pride in ourselves and in what we do.

Our goal here at Demolition Forum is to provide a place where members can have intelligent conversation, discuss the latest in demolition news and other related topics to demolition in a respectable manner.

“GOD COMPLEX OVER!”

Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a safe and happy new year in 2006!

I am sure the customers of Consumers Energy just loved to hear you say that. I thought the days of the $1,000 toilet seats were over. Everything comes with a price. If it is a private power generator it is at the expense of the consumer. If it is a government facility it is at the expense of the taxpayer. Somebody brought up a good point today:

Since "explosives softening" obviously wasn't part of the demolition contractor's winning bid, did they have to give Consumer's Energy a credit for all the time they alledgedly saved or did Consumer's Energy have to give them an extra for subjecting them to a more hazardous site?
