40-storey Noida twin towers to be demolished in just 9 seconds using 2500 kg explosives

In a unique demolition drive, the illegal 40-storey twin Supertech towers in Noida's Sector 93A will be brought down to dust in merely 9 seconds, a structure that likely took years to get constructed.

On May 22, at 2.30 pm, one of India's tallest buildings will disappear from the cityscape.

This will take place exactly nine months after the Supreme Court order on August 31, 2021 to bring down the twin towers.

Supertech's Apex (100 metre) and Ceyane (97 metre) twin towers had come up in violation of building norms

The Supreme Court had rapped the local Noida Authority for approval of the project under its watch. Around 1,500 families living in close vicinity to the towers located in sector 93A would be moved out of their homes. These families will be moved out for around five hours when the implosion takes place on May 22 at 2:30 pm.Roads leading to the towers and a stretch of the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway close to the site will be shut for traffic.Security personnel would be deployed in the area in large numbers on the day, according to the demolition plan. Edifice Engineering company has been handed the job of demolishing the 40-storey twin Supertech towers in Noida. Removal of structures like electrical fittings, plumbing items, doors and windows are already been carried out.Walls of the twin towers are also being demolished to reduce the amount of rubble the implosion would create.
