| Do We Detonate All The Floors? |
|
|
|
| The number of floors to detonate will be determined by structural analysis. This analysis includes: the condition of the structure, height of structure, exposures surrounding the structure and direction of fall, to mention a few. We specifically weaken a required number of floors to ensure the building inclines to a non-exposed area or create a non-exposure area via sequencing the detonations. |

Larry Peterson says... "The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources experienced an extremely rapid failure of a 100-year-old railroad bridge. When I was called in to assist with the emergency (the bridge) was moving at a rate of approximately two to three inches per day. The consensus of a group of bridge engineers was that the bridge was failing too rapidly to attempt any kind of stabilization (and that) the bridge would collapse within a matter of days. I contacted three firms. Eric Kelly agreed to complete (the job) within two days. Their quick emergency response was greatly appreciated. They quickly took charge of the project and applied their considerable expertise in demolition of steel structures. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would like to thank Eric Kelly for his quick response and exemplary work in an emergency situation."
