The nearly 100-metre tall Supertech twin towers in Noida will be gone in a matter of 9 seconds on August 28. 

The illegal buildings will be demolished using 3,700 kgs of explosives that have been filled in more than 9,000 holes drilled in the columns and shears of the skeletal structures.

According to the Times of India, the ten-member team tasked with carrying out the implosion climb 32 floors every day, since elevators have been disconnected, to ensure that the chargers in the explosives are connected and that the circuit remain unbroken. 

The remote-controlled implosion will be carried out at 2.30 pm on Sunday causing the buildings collapse on themselves ‘like a waterfall’.

According to News 18, the demolition exercise will cost around Rs 20 crore with Supertech paying Rs 5 crore and rest will be realised by the selling the debris. 

Noida officials have said that demolition is expected to leave behind approximately 35,000 cubic metres of rubble which would translate to 80,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste.

Most of the debris will be used to level the ground and the rest will be sent to construction and demolition waste waste processing units for scientific disposal and it would take up to three months for the process to complete.
