Demolition squad make up first deployment at Emerald twin towers

A project manager, three engineers, and 170 workers make up the first deployments at the Emerald Court twin towers as preparations to bring down the buildingzs. The Emerald Court twin towers, 100 metre and 97 metre tall, will be demolished.

The pre-demolition work is in full swing at Ground Zero, the Apex and Ceyane compounds in Sector 93A.

A blast perimeter will be built, which will absorb shock and debris from the implosion that will raze the 32-storey buildings. The tentative date for the demolition work is 22 May.

The bricks will be removed and the walls dismantled till the buildings are flattened to columns and beams for the eventual implosion, which will take two months.

A team, including eight experts and a safety engineer from the Edifice Engineering Enterprise Private Limited (EEEPL) in South Africa, are likely to come and inspect the twin towers and finalise the implosion plan.

The blast design might be ready soon and handed over to the Noida Authority, which will submit it to the Supreme Court on 28 February.

The Supreme Court passed the demolition order of the twin towers last year in August, stating that it violated the law. Earlier, it set a two-week deadline to begin the demolition process. The court had initially ordered the towers to be razed within three months of its order.

A partner at Edifice Engineering, Uttkarsh Mehta, said the experts would come and conduct a site inspection. He said that except for columns, beams and slabs, everything would be taken out. The removable items from the buildings constitute about 15% of the entire structure. It is implemented to ensure there are no obstacles during the demolition of the buildings. Apart from this, their removal clears the passage for beams to come down. He added that the structural audit of nearby buildings commences by mid-March 2022.
