What is building demolition?

What technique is used to demolish a building?

The technique used to demolish a building involves strategically placing explosive charges to remove a building's support structure so that it collapses on itself, causing little-to-no damage to its surroundings.

What explosives are used to for building demolition?

Nitroglycerin, dynamite or other explosives are used to shatter reinforced concrete supports. Linear shaped charges are used to sever steel supports. These explosives are progressively detonated on supports throughout the structure. Then, explosives on the lower floors initiate the controlled collapse.

How long does it take for a building to collapse?

It takes about eight seconds for the building to implode. Of course, the whole process starts before the building starts to come down, and continues after it has been reduced to rubble.

Fn Building Projects has singlehandedly restored the reputation of builders and my faith in local craftsmanship. Me entire experience - from the concept of what I wanted, until the finishing touches, were exceptional. What I wanted was executed professionally, the workers and foreman on site were respectful, kept my place clean and treated my home - and me, with respect. The project management team kept me abreast of developments, budget, time and progress. When they saw something that benefitted my pocket AND my vision, they always recommended it, as it was in my best interest. Faizels skills are unmatched. The most beautiful moldings, tiling and plastering - speaks to his many years of experience in the industry and honing his craft. 5 stars! Highly recommend.
