Two 14-story residential buildings were demolished for renewal within the framework of the urban transformation project in Antalya, Turkey. Footage showed the moment of demolition of the buildings and the dust clouds following the demolition.
Civil Engineer Mazlum Karakoç said that they examined the building structure for a few days before demolishing it. “Since the buildings are very old, cracks appeared in the structure shortly after contacting the balcony of the building. We had to demolish the building without damaging the surroundings. We made a review again and decided to remove the load-bearing columns and bring down the building to its current location. It was the healthiest way of demolition,” Karakoç said.
