- Our Director of Support Services poses an interesting question. I
- would appreciate any information related to improved technology for
- building demolition or leads to any research in process dedicated to
- this subject. I will summarize any direct mail back to the list.
-
- If we can disolve gall stones in a quiet fashion, without destroying
- "neighboring" tissue, perhaps we could disolve concrete/mortar/steel
- with this same or similar technology and just "flush unwanted
- buildings right down the drain!" No fuss, muss, or noise pollution!!
-
- Any related information will be appreciated. . . . Phil---

- Phil, I would like you to send out an inquiry soliciting input from
- other institutions regarding the availability of alternative
- demolition procedures to the mess causing jackhammer, air compressor
- and concrete saw. As you so well know, the renovation projects on the
- campuses are numerous and will continue to grow in numbers with
- changes in our research and instructional programs. The combination
- of dust, noise and worker protection associated with current
- demolition methods is very disruptive and annoying to "neighbors" to
- the project.
-
- How are other institutions handling this dilemma? Are other
- procedures such as ultra high pressure water being sucessfully used?
