Two implosions – one in North America, one in South America – scheduled for 8 January.
Implosion enthusiasts will be delighted to hear that 2012 will be starting with not just one big bang but two.
DemolitionNews understands that Advanced Explosive Demolition will revert to type on 8 January, foregoing the tripping demolition method used thus far on the ConAgra contract on the Huron River to bring down the site’s largest structure in a controlled implosion.
Meanwhile, in Brazil, World Explosive Demolition Contractor of the Year Fabio Bruno has his finger poised to drop the 42,000 square metre Benfica favela known locally as CCPL.
We will, of course, do our best to bring you footage from both implosions and wish both teams well ahead on these key blasts.
