The Supertech towers were demolished via a ‘controlled implosion’, it collapsed after explosives were strategically placed and detonated to ensure minimal damage to the surroundings. Over 3,700 kg of explosives were used in the implosion that brought down the building. According to Edifice Engineering, the company tasked with the demolition of the towers, there appears to be no damage to the residential towers located nearby. Water sprinklers and anti-smog guns are being used in the areas around the Supertech society to make the dust particles settle down. Around 5,000 residents of the adjacent Emerald Court and ATS Village societies vacated their homes for the day.
Supertech was granted permission by the Noida authority back in 2005 to build 14 towers with nine floors each, a shopping complex and a garden area. With the approval of Noida Authority, Supertech revised its project in 2009 to include twin high-rise buildings — Apex and Ceyane, earning the ire of Emerald Court Owners Residents Welfare Association (RWA), who moved to the Allahabad High Court in 2012, terming it as illegal construction. Two years later the High Court ruling in favour of the RWA ordered its demolition. After the Noida Authority and Supertech moved to the Supreme Court, the nine-year long legal battle ended up with the apex court ordering demolition of the illegally constructed towers.
