Our Director of Support Services poses an interesting question.  I
would appreciate any information related to improved technology for
building demolition or leads to any research in process dedicated to
this subject. I will summarize any direct mail back to the list.

If we can disolve gall stones in a quiet fashion, without destroying
"neighboring" tissue, perhaps we could disolve concrete/mortar/steel
with this same or similar technology and just "flush unwanted
buildings right down the drain!"  No fuss, muss, or noise pollution!!

Any related information will be appreciated. . . . Phil---

Phil, I would like you to send out an inquiry soliciting input from
other institutions regarding the availability of alternative
demolition procedures to the mess causing jackhammer, air compressor
and concrete saw. As you so well know, the renovation projects on the
campuses are numerous and will continue to grow in numbers with
changes in our research and instructional programs.  The combination
of dust, noise and worker protection associated with current
demolition methods is very disruptive and annoying to "neighbors" to
the project.

    How are other institutions handling this dilemma? Are other
procedures such as ultra high pressure water being sucessfully used?
