Скачать или смотреть WILDCAT Demolition Specialist implosion in Freeport, Bahamas

WILDCAT's assignment by Centex Rooney / Hutchinson Ltd. was to design, develop and implement, for the Lucayan Project in Freeport, Bahamas, a demolition, recycling and debris removal plan. The Atlantik Beach Hotel itself was 230' tall with stepped shear walls and staggered slabs; it was supported by 3' diameter columns (which in many cases had deteriorated to less than 12"), sitting on a 8' thick raft mat.
Besides these structural challenges to safely prepare the building for implosion, the project was set on an island where experienced labor and reliable/task specific demolition equipment were non-existent. With the Prime Minister and his party attending, the exact detonation time was irreversible.
The project was completed ahead of schedule, with zero incidents, and in a manner which fostered successful relationships with the local vendors, contractors and authorities.
