As construction methods and materials have grown increasingly complex over the years, so has the need for new and more accurate methods to analyze and demolish such structures. Utilizing its Extreme Loading® Technology (ELT), ASI is able to provide critical information to clients during all phases of demolition planning.
With extensive expertise in modeling and analyzing the demolition of buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, sports arenas, and many other complex structures, ASI can simulate a structural demolition plan which employs the use of explosives, wrecking ball, pushing or pulling force, or manual deconstruction.
Demolition Pre-Planning:
- Demolition Analysis: Given the actual demolition plan, ASI can provide an accurate analysis of the proposed plan. If the proposed demolition plan indicates the possibility of a mishap or hazard, ASI can suggest alternative scenarios or modifications to the planned approach. ASI can also provide engaging visuals early on in the bidding process for encouraging plan approval or for display in public forums.
- Seismic Analysis: Propagation of seismic waves created by structural debris to study the effect of the demolition on neighboring structures.
Post-Demolition Analysis:
- Comparative Analysis: A comparison of the actual demolition with the predicted outcome of the demolition plan can also be generated. ASI can combine both the predictive simulation and the actual demolition videos as a side-by-side reference for further analysis or marketing purposes.
Exclusive Demolition Analysis Program:

ASI is currently partnering with demolition contractors and demolition consultants around the world to provide demolition analysis services.

Demolition Analysis: Implosion - New Castle Brown Brewery
On June 22nd, Sir Bobby Robson, pressed the button to detonate the explosive charges that brought down the old Newcastle Brown brewery building. The 1960s reinforced concrete brewery structure was 60 m square by 40 m high.
Controlled Group, the Yorkshire based Demolition Company collaborated with ASI for the first time in the UK and, the results were great. “The similarities between the predicted collapse and the actual collapse were impressive” said Controlled Structural Engineer, Rob Clarke.
The designed collapse mechanism focused around the columns in the centre of the building being destroyed first and then the floor slabs, with their vertical support gone, sagging like a heavy net and pulling the sides of the building into the centre.
