Aston University two towers blowdown

Earlier today DSM Demolition and PDC Explosives Engineers (John Faulkner and Robyn Rushforth) carried out a blowdown of two towers on the Aston University campus in Birmingham.

Anyone who knows Aston University will be aware that it is possitioned right next to a major dual carriageway making precision crucial otherwise tomorrow's rush hour would have been a nightmare. C&D were initial consultants on the project and aided the decision to go with a blowdown in such a tight site.

As you can see in the videos, it looks as though the blowdown went without a hitch.
