A Case Study on Blast Demolition Work of a Pier Structure

The blast demolition technology has been used to demolish various industrial facilities and tall buildings since 1950s in the advanced countries such as USA and U.K. It is now considered as one of safe demolition methods in the above countries. In Korea, several companies have tried to introduce blast demolition technology in the early days of the 1990s. However, this technology is still at the beginning stage and not fully adopted due to situation of avoiding technology transfer by overseas technical tie-up companies, lack of objects to be demolished and low level recognition on blast demolition. This technology shall be considered as a cutting edge technology to be applicable to demolition of skyscrapers, various industrial structures and factory buildings in the near future. Blast demolition of a pier structure was carried out under the site condition where there were already the constructed 2 pier structures of up and down line which had safety problems in an expressway construction project. The pier structures need to be demolished and reconstructed for a short period of time in consideration of the construction work process to be followed.

교각구조물 발파해체 시공사례

선진국인 미국이나 영국등지에서는 이미 1950년대부터 각종 산업시설 및 고층건물을 발파해체공법으로 철저하여 왔고 이제는 안전한 해체공법중의 하나고 자리 잡고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 90년대 초반부터 몇몇 업체에서 시작된 발파해체공법의 시도가 외국 기술제휴사의 핵심기술 이전기피, 해체불량 부족과 발파해체에 대한 인식부족 등으로 아직 활성화되지 못한 초기 단계이지만 향후 고층빌딩철거, 각종 산업구조물 및 공장건물 해체작업에도 적응이 가능한 첨단기술이라 할 수 있다. 본 교각구조물 발파해체 시공사례는 고속국도건설 공사 중 기 시공된 교각구조물에 안전성 문제가 발생하여 상 하행선 2개의 교각을 후속공정을 고려하여 난시간 내에 해체하고, 재시공하여야하는 현장여건에서 수행되었다.
