Pre-blast testing ensures Dykon are all set for tomorrow’s big bang.
At 12.30 tomorrow afternoon (local time), the 80-year old Ben Milam hotel is scheduled to become the latest Houston building to be imploded.
The 10-story building across from Minute Maid Park will be imploded by explosives experts Dykon Explosive Demolition working with demo firm D.H. Griffin of Texas. Once it’s gone, apartment developer the Finger Cos. will build a luxury residential complex in its place.
The 80-year-old building has been vacant for years. It was built to house traveling salesmen who came to town by train through Union Station across the street.
In advance of the blast, the Dykon team has carried out a number of test blasts; and we are delighted to be able to bring you these exclusive photos showing the results from those test below:
