Johannesburg - Africa’s premier demolition company, Jet Demolition, has successfully orchestrated the implosion of the Supertech Twin Towers in India, the 15th tallest building in the world.
The building located in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, near the capital New Delhi, was also the tallest building to ever be imploded in India with a total of 3 516.4kg of explosives used to achieve reliable rupture of all columns, while 17 000 holes were drilled.
According to Jet Demolition, the Apex Tower was 103 metres and the Cayenne Tower 97 metres, with a total of 68 100 tons above the lower basement floor, making this one of the most challenging projects ever undertaken by the company.
This was an especially complicated task as the demolition carried the potential of creating a major earthquake.
