Nice Metal and Concrete Construction Project

Love the cracks and holes in the concrete, I wonder how rusty the steel in under there.

Thank You, Randy

At least two somebodies are NUTS.To walk on that disaster waiting to happen. ...lew...

On the bright side, as long as you don't congregate the live load is small compared to the dead load.

OHHH! oh my god that's too funny/scary! incredible video. thanks.

b.w.

(nice scenery though huh?!) (my balls were tingling when he came upon those big holes) (those mountain climber guys are nucking futs huh? the one guy climbing BENEATH the concrete, oy!) (just imagine the guys who BUILT it! oy! looks like light gauge railroad rails. just carrying them would be enough let along laying them down on the original open framework. oy.) (there was a road "culvert"/bridge near here on a state road. years ago i went under it to see what it looked like and was kinda shocked to see in the

1800's they used recycled light gauge railroad rails. it had to be at least a 20' span. they just laid a bunch of railroad rails across the span, put flat slabs of slate over it and then over the years successive layers of asphalt paving. i couldn't believe there were heavy trucks driving over that RUSTY old thing daily. they replaced it a few years ago.)

Yep. Made me queasy just watching the video

I was going to reach for the Dramamine.

Did anyone notice if there was *any* kind of reinforcement in that concrete, something that would handle the tensile loads between the steel beams? Whatever it was, with all the holes in the concrete, it wasn't spaced closely enough to do anything. It looked like the concrete's tensile strength (which approaches zero) was all that stood between someone walking over it and disaster.

Anyone have any idea where that is? Incredible!

AND ... the cameraman was filming and walking at the same time! Sometimes the camera was just on and not being operated, but other times it clearly was being operated. Had I been there every cell of me would have been concentrated on that walk and on my next step.

I think I would be straddling the iron with my feet, at least until I woke up out of this bad dream.

Yup. I'd be damned sure to keep my feet off that concrete.

The couple is speaking German, but the climbers I think could be hispanic. My guess is that this is either in Mexico, or Central or South America. That is just a guess...I don't know for sure. Dave

German sightseers in Spain or Portugal would be my guess.

Want even more fun. Try going to work here.!!!!

I emailed the link to the local radio show mornings guys, both are big guys, maybe 700 pounds between the two of them.

Hey Randy,

Believe it or not, I've been there. I think that is The King's Walk in Spain.

If that is it, it's as scary as it looks.

Thanks,

Keith

Would you walk on this? would it hold the two of you?

I love the cracks and holes through the concrete.

Thank You, Randy

Wouldn't that be a fun stroll on a rainy day? That's a beautiful area.
