What other options were considered to demolish the Noida Twin Towers?
On how many options they had for demolition of the twin towers, Edifice Engineering's project manager Mayur Mehta said there are basically three techniques to safely raze down any structure of such a scale - diamond cutter, use of robots and implosion. "The technique is chosen on the basis of three parameters - cost, time and safety," he said. He said the 'diamond cutter' would have taken over two years of time to completely demolish the twin towers safely, and its cost would have been five times of the implosion method. On using robotics, he said this technique would have caused a lot of noise over a period of 1.5 years to two years and disturbed the residents of nearby Emerald Court and ATS Village.

Preparations almost done
All work related to placement of explosives and connecting them is already complete. The only work remaining is interconnecting the twin towers and placing a 100-metre-long cable from the structures to the exploder, from where the button would be pressed on Sunday, project officials said.

The closest buildings next to twin towers are Aster 2 and Aster 3 of Emerald Court society which are just nine metres away. The demolition would be done in a manner so as not to cause any structural damages to other buildings, the officials said.

Buildings to go down in less than 15 seconds
The fall of buildings is expected to be a breathtaking spectacle of engineering to raze down the nearly 100-metre-tall structures borne out of corruption. Only last minute inspections remain as the towers -- taller than Delhi's iconic Qutub Minar -- will be brought down in less than 15 seconds by waterfall implosion technique.
