CDI fells casino parking garage with controlled blast.
The Monarch Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado has imploded its old parking garage to make way for a new hotel and spa.
It’s all part of a $400 million development plan.
Three stories were turned into a half a story in about three seconds thanks to Mark Loizeaux and teams from Controlled Demolition, who placed 303 pounds of explosives to bring the garage down on itself.
“It isn’t much when you talk about 10,000 pounds of concrete, but gravity really does most the work,” Loizeaux said.
