Posted Sep 12, , AM. Tom in Chicago: We've imploded three buildings in the last few years: a former city's tallest in downtown called the Landmark Tower, Amon Carter Stadium, and the Medical Tower. Below are photographs of all three before demolition. I personally don't think it was all that great. In my last photo of the pile of rubble, you can see the city's tallest building in the background, Burnett Plaza.
Rockmont: Here is the rendering of the replacement building. It is actually under construction to the right of the building demolished. Posted Sep 12, , PM. That new building looks pretty good. Better than that tacky looking parking garage, and I'll go find a look at the new TCU football stadium too. Probably on google. I actually have some photos of the new stadium.
TCU played their first game there on September 8th. I don't have any good up close or interior shots. However, I'm taking a private tour at the end of this month. That stadium looks pretty good. Did they actually tear it down, and rebuild it, or did they just re-facade it? Only the field and the lower bowl seating remained. The west stands that I have pictured were imploded on December 5, The east stands remained until the end of the football season, and then they were demolished by wrecking ball.
The east stands were smaller and not as tall. TCU continued to play football at the stadium during the construction. Posted Sep 13, , AM. Great set. It was kind of a blah-looking building anyway. A lot of people in the city thought it was ugly. There are a couple of other buildings nearby that are equally as ugly and it would be nice to have new facades put on them or have them replaced.

Find all posts by Austinlee. Too bad that fat head on the left got into all your shots,a well placed slap would've taken care of that. At 35 levels and feet tall, it is the tallest building ever demolished in Texas and the second-tallest building imploded in the world.
Your project may not be this size, but the engineering knowledge needed to bring down this giant is available for every job. Plus, we are able to track our recycling for LEED certification. Your Name required. Your Email required. There are techniques used to control the collapse of the building. For example, installing pre-stressed steel cables into the walls. There are different types of explosives that are used and options for detonators.
The explosives are placed in structural columns throughout the building. The timing of the detonation is critical. The explosives installed are detonated less than a second apart. The goal in most implosive demolitions is for the highest point of the rubble to occur at the core of the collapse.
A blasting cap is used to ignite the primary charge explosives. It is detonated from a safe distance using an electrical detonator connected to a lead line. Now the demolition debris is removed. This is typically done with excavators and skid steer loaders that place the debris onto trucks. Material that can be reused or recycled are separated out either onsite or carted off to a recycling facility.
Some recycling, such as concrete crushing, may be handled at the demolition site. Ultimately this is an opportunity to generate income and reduce waste disposal. Part of the cleanup plan may require a final clearance report prepared by an industrial hygienist. Any demolition job is risky. It takes a lot of skill, coordination, and know-how to pull off an implosion demolition. Here are two examples. In the case of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, part of the building had already collapsed, killing nearly people.
In order for rescue workers to safely continue their search, it was determined that the whole building needed to be demolished. It stood empty for 16 years and the decision was made to demolish via the implosion method. A perfect implosion demolition brought the tower down in Smart demolition is making it safer to dismantle old structures. Robotics are handling the more dangerous aspects of demolition.
Husqvarna has a line of remote demolition robots. The DXR can reach up 3. Attachments include breakers, crushers, and shears. Many of the same skills that are in the construction industry are needed in demolition. The more specialized demolition jobs — where you are placing and detonating explosives — are typically on-the-job training or apprentice opportunities.
