Kajima ’s floor - by - floor boring demolition is one of those rare things in life that lead you sincerely dumb , mouth wide - open , and pinching yourself to be sure this is tangible while you grumble “ what the frak . ” After all , seeing the TV of a 20 - floor building overwhelm into the asphalt as if it was fluid is something that belongs to a sci - fi flick . The stunning process - called daruma - otoshi - is not only almost surreal but it serve to reduce the environmental impact . Seriously , I can watch this for hour :
How do they do it ? First they replace the support pillars at ground stage with reckoner - controlled metallic element columns . Then , a bunch cautiously demolish the entire floor by hand , leaving the structure take a breather on the mechanically skillful mainstay , which then go down slow until the next level is at ground story . They replace the support pillars again with the mechanically skillful ones , ruin that flooring , and repeat the operation until they get rid of all the floors . This makes it look as if the building is shrinking in front of you , or being swallow by the street .
consort to the party , this method greatly concentrate the environmental encroachment of the destruction , as well as the prison term . Kajima says that it speeds up the task by 20 % , while make it easier to separate materials for recycling , as well as reducing the amount of products release into the line .
The physical process is called daruma - otoshi after a Japanese game that make histrion take the bottom parts of a pillar - using a hammer - without disturbing the rest of the theatrical role above . This method does n’t trouble the columns above either , but it somehow vex my mind . [ KajimaviaPink Tentacle ]
