The Kennedy Tower underwent a controlled demolition on 20 July 2025. This spectacular operation was orchestrated by the Ginger DELEO team, which was the project manager and blast designer for Partenord Habitat. But what exactly happens before the big day? The Ginger DELEO team explains the preliminary stages of gutting, asbestos removal, dismantling and fabric-wrapping of columns for loading the explosives, the blast plan, and vibration monitoring. The tower, which housed more than 200 apartments and was a landmark in the city, collapsed in less than two seconds. In France, only Ginger DELEO possesses this expertise.
This large-scale project was carried out with precision, passion and meticulous timing.
