There are over 800 high-rise buildings of height exceeding 100m in Japan. Due to a growing performance requirement in buildings, the demand for demolitions and rebuilds are expected to rise. By anticipating future needs, we have developed a new technique for demolishing high-rise buildings. The roof is kept intact, creating an enclosure at the top of the building. Closing off the work area resolves the common concerns of demolition work while reducing the construction time. Moreover, this sophisticated, environmentally-friendly demolition technique utilizes power generated when the crane unloads dismantled materials.
