CONTROLLED BUILDING IMPLOSION

Ananya A B, Jikhil Joseph

Abstract


Urban development is a key concern which requires advancements that are malleable enough to accommodate post-construction changes. Infrastructure upgrades, redevelopment, or removal of structurally unsound or obsolete structures have made demolitions commonplace. The popularity of RCC buildings has furthered the cause. Amongst the other methods, the implosion of buildings has attained wider acceptance as a viable option. This report covers the plausibility and institutional aspects of demolition and further explores the use of implosion as a method of demolition in the present times. This also involves the safety measures to be adopted while bringing such demolition machinery into place. The urban fabric necessitates action with caution and the report concludes with eco-sensitive and safe measures for the same.
