Demolition puzzle - removed rivet feature
(OP)
Curious - What is the explanation for the flat area on the removal side of what I believe is a standard bridge rivet? What removal methods would have been used? I can see the torch mark, but how was the head removed? Did the head removal method leave the flat area?

I hate to recollect how many rivets I've driven out while renovating bridges in need of repair.
Best regards - Al

This was an interesting rivet removal. After taking off the head, they had a hard time punching it out so they used an air-arc rod to try to loosen it. And, it worked (once in a while you can trust them with fire.)
