UK demolition specialist AR Demolition has employed military-grade hypersonic “kick and cut” charges to bring down a large screen house at Croft Quarry in Leicestershire.
The company's CEO Richard Dolman said he believes that the project is the first time such charges have been used in the demolition industry, without the normal pre-weakening activity usually needed to bring a structure down. He added that the techniques can now revolutionise safety in the industry.
