    Need ideas for scraping community water tanks

    Good Morning,

    I need ideas for the best way to scrap three old community water tanks. They are 40 ft. in diameter, 25 ft. tall, dome roof, and 1/4 inch steel. The water pipes have already been dismantled.

    The water district already tried to sell the water tanks, but could not find a buyer so they want them scraped.



    My plan is to cut the roof and let it fall inside. Then I want to cut the sides in 18 inch slices and using my loader with long chains place them on the ground to finish cutting. If anyone has a better idea, I would love to hear it. Any ideas for safety would also be appreciated.
