Controlled demolition is a method used to safely and efficiently bring down buildings or structures. This technique involves the strategic placement of explosives to ensure that the structure collapses in a predetermined manner, minimizing damage to surrounding areas. It is often employed in urban environments where space is limited and safety is a priority. The process typically begins with a thorough assessment of the building, followed by the careful installation of explosives at key structural points. Professionals, known as demolition experts, calculate the timing and sequence of the explosions to control the fall of the structure, ensuring it lands safely within a designated area.
