Unless this structure was shot inside a "bubble", then Blast1 is 100% correct. The vast majority of dust is caused by the fracture of concrete. In other words, it comes from inside the columns, beams and floors as they break-up. It simply cannot be controlled.
The shrink wrap idea was discussed many years ago. Ideally, the internal protective measures should impede or mitigate any ejection of flyrock. Externally, a good geo beats down secondary fly. Controlling dust with any external material is just hooey! Dust is the greatest by-product of implosions. The few who have been imploding for many years understand that any "innovative technique" is smoke and mirrors.
I have used water deluge systems when shooting asbestos coated structures and had all emmissions well below EPA standards. Region 9 EPA has commended the water deluge and approved the use of said for other projects in the Region 9 area that had hazardous materials present. Insofar as European standards, I have yet to encounter any.
Oddly enough, many mixtures of concrete in the European communities have asbestos as an adhesive. I witnessed the mixture on 2 projects in Europe and learned they use acid to dissolve concrete because of the asbestos content.
They also have microbes in the concrete that makes for succeptability to various viral/lung infections.
With AED, Europe, we have specified all drillers must wear at least nuisance masks.
Very interesting indeed. Maybe Blast or RDZ can chime in on the use on taller buildings.
I would love to see a video also. I have searched but haven't found anything yet.
