Another interesting fact we stumbled over, is that Miami has had more buildings imploded than any other city in the world.

Gordito, 87 is probably pretty close. Did you happen to take any pictures or a video?

Ray, No I haven't. Same here no luck.

James,

Have you found any video of the Ramallo Building? I haven't had much success.

That was pretty interesting. We have done some research through the internet, speaking to people in the industry and periodical research and have identified slightly over 50 (53 to be exact) worldwide that perform implosions. So far this year there have been 87 implosions with the biggest and most complex being the building in Ft Worth. Does this sound right to you?

Well stay in touch here (shameless plug).

We have some members that do implosion work in the States and Aboard. They are active members here and do post about their upcoming projects and we stay in touch with some others and we get word on most projects, of course not all.

There is also an implosion of a building in Miami in two months time. But what I would really like is something different or unusual.
There is a cement plant being imploded but I have seen the pictures and that doesn't look too exciting.
We are conducting our research in order to find out how many companies actually do this work. We have to rely on periodicals and websites because this information is not very easy to find.

Thanks, I hase been in touch with the people in PR and will be attending the demolition.

I have also been in touch with the contractor on the implosion of the hotel in Cancu, Mexico and will probably be attending that implosion as well.

[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The building is the Ramallo Building; (I am guessing its Ramollo Brothers Printing) on Durante Street, Hato Rey [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The building is set for implosion at around 8:00 a.m. local time on the 16th of July.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Controlled Demolition and Recycling is doing the work. [/FONT]

I am writing an article for the largest Spanish language publication on demolition by explosives. Naturally, I would like to showcase projects in Spanish speaking parts of the world. I have several in Mexico and would like a couple of others in other countries.
I have put in several calls to the San Juan Mayor's office. The implosion is actually located in Hato Rey, a suburb of San Juan.
