Reliability of demolition by controlled implosions

Abstract

The achievement of demolition works on structures, by authorized personnel, using explosives, implies a combination of risks that exist on any construction site with the specific risks of work with explosives. These specific risks are generated mainly by the effects of explosions and partial or total misfires. The requirements and the feasibility to demolition of construction, requires on behalf of companies carrying out demolition with explosives to identify and assess the risks to which workers may be exposed during the destruction of the building elements and also to achieve the initiation schemes for explosions at the best price/efficiency ratio.
