770m with a single click – blasting of Germany’s longest viaduct
29/05/2014
Mr. Walter Werner will be at the Deconstruction Forum to present a demolition case story: the blasting of a German viaduct.
A 770 m long highway viaduct standing parallel in a distance of 3 – 15 m from the new bridge was blasted and the construction had a height of up to 50 m.
With a sophisticated plan, the vertical collapse was initiated with 7 pairs of pillars folded. To illustrate the demolition, two short videos and also some pictures will be a part of the conference.
