Noida: Supertech Emerald Court & ATS Village structural audit this month

NOIDA: Supertech will soon start the structural audit of Emerald Court and ATS Greens Village, the societies on either side of its twin towers that were demolished on August 28.

The real estate company will submit the report to the Noida Authority and the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) by September 28, officials said.

The Noida Authority on Wednesday held the first meeting of stakeholders, including representatives of the two societies, after the twin towers’ demolition to discuss the roadmap to remove approximately 80,000 tonnes of debris that lie at the twin towers’ site.

Rebuilding the passage between the twin towers and the Aster buildings of Emerald Court, which was demolished for the exercise to bring the towers down, was also discussed.

Officials of CBRI, Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB), Edifice Engineering (the demolition company), Supertech and members of Emerald Court and ATS Village RWAs were at the meeting.

Edifice said reports on ground and air vibrations, structural analysis (visual inspection) and crack gauge measurements were being prepared.

Noida CEO Ritu Maheshwari directed Edifice to complete barricading the debris by September 15, while keeping its height to 10 metres and using two layers of fibre textile, as suggested by CBRI. “Instructions were also issued for detailed reports on vibration monitoring, visual inspection and readings of crack gauges by September 20. Reconstruction of the broken boundary wall of ATS Village (which broke during the demolition) should be completed by September 30,” Maheshwari said.

Maheshwari also asked Edifice to deploy at least six anti-smog guns to protect nearby residents from dust pollution when the debris is broken up. While water sprinklers will be used, CBRI and UPPCB will suggest suitable methods for reducing noise pollution.
