FINALLY!! THE SILVERDOME TO BEGIN DEMOLITION DEC 3 !!



Finally! The demolition of the old Silverdome is almost here! Read this great article from Crain's about it.

The decaying Pontiac Silverdome, former home of the Detroit Lions and pain in the neck building where I used to do shows, will also be destroyed by a controlled explosion — in part.


But whether a structure is demolished over the course of weeks or months, or in just a matter of seconds or minutes, depends on a variety of factors.



The most critical is what surrounds the targeted building, said Rick Cuppetilli, executive vice president of Detroit-based demolition contractor Adamo Group Inc., which is razing the Silverdome starting Dec. 3 with a minor implosion of the stadium's upper ring.

Materials:
  • Pounds of dynamite to be used: 300.
  • Structural steel to be recycled: 1,700 tons.
  • Rebar to be recycled: 1,800 tons.
