Services
Structures we demolish.
RCC stacks to 250 m+
Chimney implosion
Precision hinge-cut designs for industrial chimneys. We guarantee a fall corridor to protect live ID fans and switchyards sitting metres from the shaft.
Hyperbolic NDCT shells
Cooling towers
Hyperbolic shell felling with millisecond delays. Multiple towers in one outage window, vibration and air-blast held to station limits.
Surgical removal in live yards
Tanks & silos
RCC and steel storage units planned to miss adjacent conveyors, kilns, HT lines and pump houses by metres.
Cement and chemical plants
Preheaters & process units
Twin preheater frames, reject crushers, clinker halls — weakened to drop inside their own footprint while mills keep turning.
Designed collapse in a street
Urban high-rise
Controlled implosion of occupied-neighbourhood towers. Mass into the footprint. Houses metres away stay standing.
Fragmentation, not theatre
Bridges & infrastructure
Flyovers, bridges and heavy RCC foundations taken down with controlled fragmentation and minimal traffic impact.

“EXIQUDE's precision in felling our 135 m chimney next to an active unit was world-class. Zero downtime, total safety.”
“The implosion of our coal conveyor trestles was a masterclass in engineering. Silos remained perfectly intact.”
“Downing eight cooling towers in a single window required immense coordination. EXIQUDE delivered exactly as planned.”
Field notes
How this house thinks.
6 min · 2025-11-12
A chimney does not miss by a little. It misses by a plant.
How a 135 m RCC stack at NTPC Kanti was hinged into a five-degree corridor, forty metres from a live ID fan.
5 min · 2025-12-03
Four hyperbolic shells. One outage window.
Why cooling towers are felled as a sequence, and how KTPS took eight — including four at once — inside an operating station.
