The challenge for the Noida officials is to clean the mountain of debris generated due to the blast. Officials said the demolition conducted by the waterfall implosion technique has left an estimated 55,000 tonnes to 80,000 tonnes of debris, including concrete rubble, steel and iron bars that would take three months to be disposed of. The waste will be dumped at designated areas.
A large chunk of the debris will be dumped at an isolated place and the remaining will be accommodated in the basement areas of the Twin Towers.
“The post-demolition debris will be managed scientifically as per rules and guidelines. A final decision on it would come from the regional pollution control board which is examining a report from Edifice Engineering on debris management,” Noida's General Manager (Planning) Ishtiaq Ahmed told PTI.
