Hey Guys,
I am looking at a site work job that has some demo. Couple little buildings and a 9 story airport control tower. It is only about 20x20 but it is 110' tall. The first story is core-filled CMU and after that it is all steel. Any ideas on the best way to get it down? I was thinking either get a pro to come in and use explosives to trip it or weaken the steel by cutting it and hooking cable to the top and trip it myself. Doing it myself for the first time sounds pretty sketchy. I could also just get a crane and dissassemble it but that sounds like it would take way too long. Any input on method or pricing for such a thing? Thanks.
