Philips RAF building implosion

It may of happened in May, but the video of a Philips RAF factory building being imploded in Eindhoven are still worth sharing.

The building used to be used to assemble TV screens, but now owners Amvest are turning the old industrial site into a residential area and the building had to go. This factory building was the last to go on the site before re-development can commence.

120kg of explosives were used to take down the 120 x 30m structure. Demolition contractor Arie van Liempel decided to use explosives in order to reduce the demolition time and reduce dust, vibration, and noise for the surrounding businesses and residence.
