Daruma-Otoshi Skyscraper Demolition
July 18th, 2008A Japanese firm called Kajima Corporation, developed this new way to demolish skyscrapers. They start at the bottom floor, they cut the support columns and replace them computer-controlled jacks. When they demolished that floor, they lower the building one floor and start over. You have to see it to believe it, it’s such a clean method.
They called this ‘Daruma-Otoshi’, which is a Japanese toy where you have to knock out the bottom part of some piled objects.
