DUST IN THE WIND
When the excitement of the blast is over,
a large, billowing cloud of dust is one of the most identifiable
characteristics of a successful project.
DID YOU KNOW that according to most experts,
that dust cloud actually makes explosive demolition more
neighbor-friendly than a conventional demolition project?

| Think
about it: When buildings are brought down conventionally (by wrecking
ball and other heavy equipment), they release dust particles into
the air every day—in every direction—for several consecutive months.
Using the explosive demolition method, these dust particles are
released at one predefined time, in one direction. This gives
neighboring businesses, as well as local residents with existing
health problems, a way to avoid or prepare for the dust with minimal
inconvenience. The result is a safer project all the way around;
fewer man-hours spent in a dangerous, unstable building, and less
public exposure to the inevitable by-product of any demolition
job—dust. |
