Noida twin tower demolition: Last moments of evacuation and a sleeping man!

Ahead of Noida twin towers’ demolition, a special task force – a core team of seven members  of Emerald Court pulled off the evacuation of all residents of the society in an exercise meticulously planned over a month’s time.

The residents of the society, where the illegal twin towers were also located, had started moving out from Friday itself.

Those who had to leave Noida left earlier while those planning to accommodate themselves in nearby locations waited till Sunday morning.

But a little after 7 am, a security guard raised alarm to the special task force about a person being inside a top floor apartment of a tower who appeared to have not vacated!

“We got to know about it because of our double verification process for evacuation. It turned out that of all residents of the towers, one had not left. This resident, it turned out was fast asleep inside apartment and totally missed the evacuation deadline, Naresh Keswani, a member of the special task force, told PTI.

“Somehow, the security guards managed to wake him up and he was also evacuated at just around 7 am,” Keswani said.

Supertech twin towers razed to ground

The Supertech twin towers in Noida were demolished on Sunday, a year after the Supreme Court’s direction to raze the illegally built structures to the ground.

The nearly 100-metre-high structures taller than Delhi’s iconic Qutub Minar (73 metres)  were brought to the ground in seconds literally like a house of cards by the ‘waterfall implosion’ technique, in a breathtaking spectacle of modern day engineering.

They were the tallest structures to be demolished in India.

Minutes after the demolition, the nearby buildings appeared to be safe. A detailed safety audit is expected later.

The demolition of the structures leaves behind an estimated 35,000 cubic metres or 55,000 tonnes to 80,000 tonnes of debris which chiefly includes concrete rubble, steel and iron bars and would take another three months to be properly disposed of.

Pulmonary tests to be done, before and after the blast, to assess impact of the dust and debris

Silvercity opens its gates to evacuated residents of Emerald Court. Utopia has also offered 50 free parking spaces to residents of Emerald Court and ATS Village. Swimming pools, overhead tanks and green areas have been covered by plastic sheets in all housing societies in Noida’s Sector 93A.

RWAs are getting pulmonary tests of residents done, before and after the blast, to assess impact of the dust and debris. Authorities have set up sprinklers, smog guns, pollution monitoring equipment and other devices at the site, but there will be no escaping the dust, say experts.

The demolition will generate nearly 80,000 tonnes of debris; a huge mushroom cloud of dust. About 25,000 tonnes of the debris will have to be scientifically disposed of in three months.

S****hockwaves comparable to one-third of a typical earthquake 

When the twin towers come hurtling down, an estimated 41,720 tonnes will hit the ground under the Apex tower, while Ceyane approximately weighs 18,150 tonnes.

Supertech’s twin towers, when they come cascading down in just 13 seconds from the blasts, separated by milliseconds, turn loose its foundations, will cause shockwaves comparable to one-third of a typical earthquake that measures one on the Richter scale.

The only element remaining to be connected is the final detonator — a 100m long cable that will connect the chargers in the structures to the detonator button. The flick of this switch will turn the towers into a pile of rubble in a matter of seconds, says Edifice Engineering.

One nautical mile of air space around the twin towers demolition site in Noida will remain briefly unavailable for flights on 28 August, the Noida Authority has said.

What will be the impact of dust on residents?

Supertech’s illegal twin towers which are taller than the Qutub Minar will be demolished on Sunday, however, the health impact of the resulting dust on residents will be minimal as experts overseeing the demolition will take steps to control the impact.

According to Dr Mrinal Sircar, Head Pulmonology and Critical Care, Fortis Noida said, “When you demolish a big structure like that there will be dust and there would be some smoke because you are using explosives. So, the direction of the air matters. The direction of the wind should also be taken into consideration. Demolishing like this or rather an explosion happening in the open air is much safer than say underground mines.”

The demolition of the Apex (32 storeys) and Ceyane (29 storeys) towers would leave behind approximately 35,000 cubic metres of debris that would take at least three months to be cleared.
