NOIDA: Everything but time will stand still as the clock strikes 2.30pm on May 22 at Sector 93A in Noida. In the next nine seconds, India’s tallest buildings to be brought down will disappear from the cityscape.
Coincidentally, the nine-second demolition is nine months from the August 31, 2021 order of the Supreme Court for the two Supertech buildings – Apex and Ceyane – to be razed to the ground.
The vicinity will be in a warp of stillness that day as the hours count down to the blasts. Nearly 1,500 families living around the towers will have to leave their homes. Roads leading to the towers as well as the adjacent section of the Noida Expressway will be shut for traffic. Other than the crack of up to 4,000kg of explosives packed into the columns that will trigger the implosions, there will be silence.
Edifice Engineering, the company that has been handed the assignment, shared the demolition plan on Monday in which Ceyane (97m tall, 31 floors) will collapse to the ground first, followed by Apex (100m, 32 floors). The buildings will fall inwards like a cascade, floor by floor. In the buildings where plush apartments were once planned and sold, 10 levels will act as ‘primary blast floors’ and will be interspersed with seven ‘secondary blast floors’. The primary blast floors will have explosives in all columns. In the secondary ones, 40% of the columns will be rigged.
