The Best of PDI Bridge Demolitions from 2021

The PDI fleet of heavy equipment tears through more than 30+ bridge demolitions across the US and Canada in 2021. We saved some of the best clips for last. Take a look at this year in review compilation highlight video.

Watch Priestly Demolition do the unthinkable—and take down the entire Gardiner Expressway Eastbound Ramp in just 5 weekends. This is a fresh new look at the masters of bridge demolition. See drone footage, time-lapse video, and project highlights of this rapid demo from the PDI team, plus a behind the scenes look at how this project plan comes together, and the people who make it happen.
