"We also used drones and thermal imaging cameras, which will help us get pictures that can be processed for further research studies," The Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) said.
Hi-tech seismographs and black boxes, an electronic device to record sound in aircraft, were among the equipment placed inside the Supertech twin towers during their demolition while drones with thermal image cameras were also deployed to capture pictures and videos that would help in future research, a senior CBRI scientist said Monday.
The Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) was appointed by the Supreme Court as a technical expert for the demolition of Supertech's nearly 100-metre tall illegal structures in Noida's Sector 93A.
It was the CBRI which had selected Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering for the implosion that safely brought down the structures by 'waterfall implosion' in an eye-popping event that caused no structural damage to nearby buildings as close as nine metres.
The CBRI had roped in the Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CIMFR) for ground vibrations.
