Fabio Bruno implodes the Hospital Santa Monica

Whilst Fabio was speaking at the World Demolition Summit im Amsterdam his team carried on the good work in his absence and imploded the Hospital Santa Monica in Niteroi, Rio.

The demolition took place at 8am last Friday, used 150kg of explosives, and took around 13 seconds to come down. The State Government of Rio is planning to construct a new Center for Diagnostic Imaging on the site.

Another Fabio demolition, this time in Santa Cruz

Yesterday we got to see Fabio Bruno Pinto demolish a four storey building in Rio, Brazil. We wanted more and went searching for other Fabio jobs video footage had been captured for.

The video below is a job Fabio's company carried out in December last year. It's two buildings in Santa Cruz, Rio. We get to see a decent snapshot of the preparation work required before the implosion can take place and the main event happens.

In the end it's another impressive demolition job, and one planned using a simulation similar to that used on the Presidio Helio Gomes.

Rio's oldest prison implosion

Usually, when you see a building implosion video it contains just one building going up in smoke. But the video you see above has 8 of them all going down.

The site is in Rio and was the oldest prison in the region called Presidio Frei Caneca. It took a lot of planning, with computer simulations being carried out before the actual implosion.

Here's some more raw footage of the blast:
