Frenchtown building imploded on Saturday
An old Smurfit Stone building is no more, after crews with Industrial Technologies worked for two weeks cutting away supports from the base of the building before placing about 1,400 shape charges, which can cut through three inches of steel like butter.
The implosion formed a neat pile of rubble that will be cut up with mechanical shearers and removed.
Industrial Technologies owner Dave Murray said the implosion was an “absolute best case scenario.”
“This is a perfect job. You imagine something that’s that massive and it’s that far close to the ground. We’re happy with what we do.”
