The demolition of the iconic Meena Plaza Towers in Abu Dhabi took place on Friday morning. The entire process to successfully bring down this gigantic structure took merely 10 seconds and was conducted following the highest international safety measures, according to authorities.
A total of144 floors were demolished through controlled implosion using stable, non-primary explosives with excellent safety record.
Rigorous safety measures were followed to mitigate the effects of the demolition as well as to control the dust clouds resulting from the implosion.
The operation was commissioned by the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) in coordination with Abu Dhabi Police, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence and The National Crisis and Disasters Management Authority & National Ambulance.
