Watch as the 10-storey Grosvenor building in downtown Calgary is demolished by Priestly Demolition. Using the biggest excavator in the country, and the most experienced operators. Hear how this large piece of heavy equipment, the Kobleco 1600, performs on a project of this size. The PDI team is onsite to answer all your questions, listen and watch as Priestly uses innovative strategy, new technology and experience to demolish another large structure.

This is wicked!!!! I live in Vancouver and work in Demo in and we arent doing anything this cool. Seems like a wicked place too work!
If I recall right, that’s not even the highest that big boy can reach!
Cool commercial! Gorilla marketing 101
Good to see Mammoet giving a helping hand.
Long time overdue in seeing view footage
All the way to Calgary, eh? Hard to keep in Toronto, eh? Those cranes are something!
Hey Priestly, here is a technique you might be interested in using: Use high-pressure water jets to cut through the concrete. Then once the rebar is exposed you use a torch to cut the rebar. You can then use a crane to remove large chunks of each floor this way.
You guys are the best in demolition in the industry.
I love how you put so much emphasis on safety since this is not an easy job and is very dangerous.
Keep up the great work and you deserve all the awards and commendations that you receive in the industry.
Much success for the 2023 year.
All of the company deserves all the awards since you work harmoniously in your jobs that you do.
I enjoy seeing all the employees working together as a whole to make sure everything is done safely.
Keep up the great work!!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Why not implode the building?
Whoever decided to add a waterline to the end of the boom is smart. However I feel like it nozzle should be like a shower nozzle to spray a larger area
Who's paying for this project?
Why wouldn’t you just drop it with explosives ? Seems like it would cost more to run this big machine.
Awful "music"!
The red mile doesn't connect downtown Calgary to Stampede Park. It runs through the southern border of the Beltline to stampede Park. Obviously this person doesn't live here, or has problems with Calgary geography.
I drive by this all the time and love when the light is red so I can take a closer look!
the whole city should be bulldozed down the shit hole that it is politicians have given calgary a free hockey arena and all of the infostructure money does to the shit hole to
ask the 9-11 crew. they brought em straight down in a neat pile
Canada is a joke.
Awesome work!
The new show is ok but I miss the old show.
Heavy machines are entering the human world that can do dangerous heavy jobs that's amazing
