  1. Implosion Emach 210 Joseph Moretz

  2. Overview • Preperation • Testing • Blasting • Review for next time

  3. Preperation • Efficiency of implosion over wrecking crews • Clearing site • Removing excess structures and supports • Special wraps on blasted columns and heavily explosive areas

  4. Testing • Referring to actual engineers that designed the building • Computer simulations and designs • Types of explosives needed-(dynamite or cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine/RDX) • Test explosions

  5. Blasting • Controlled timing of blasts-(cave towards center) increase stress towards center of building first • GRAVITY-most important part of implosion • Special fuses and blast caps for delayed reactions

  6. Reviewing for Next Time • Reviewing of old tapes and documentation of mistakes that can be prevented • Compensation for damages-very high insurance(10 million +)

  7. References • Available***
