Implosion of Radio Network House
The implosion of Radio Network House on 5 August 2012 was New Zealand's first ever controlled building demolition by explosives. Like most other buildings in the Christchurch Central City, Radio Network House was damaged beyond repair in the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, and the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) added it to the demolition list in August 2011. In July 2012, it was announced that the building was going to be imploded, involving a specialist company from America with a large track record for this type of work. The right to push the button for the implosion was put up for auction on the TradeMe website, and became the auction with the third highest page views ever. The winning bid of was made by a consortium of demolition contractors, who allowed the Child Cancer Foundation to nominate a six-year-old boy from Queenstown to trigger the event. The implosion, which was carefully monitored to assess the suitability of this approach for potential future applications, went without any problems and it is anticipated that this will have paved the way for many more implosions in New Zealand in general, and in Christchurch in particular.
==Background==
Radio Network House was a 14-storey office tower constructed in 1986. The building was located at 155 Worcester Street, on the north side of the street and in the block between Manchester Street and Latimer Square. For its last twelve years Radio Network House was owned by Greg Hedges through his company Nor West Arch No.4 Ltd.
The building was first operated as the Christchurch studio for Television New Zealand (TVNZ), who displayed their logo on the building. Shows such as ''What Now'', ''After School'', Simon Barnett's quiz show ''Face the Music'' and later ''The Son of a Gunn Show''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/the-son-of-a-gunn-show-1992/series )〕 were filmed in the tower block. TVNZ vacated the building in late 1998 following a decision to move all of their Christchurch-produced shows to Wellington. In the late 1990s, Telstra New Zealand, the telecommunications company of Telstra in New Zealand, owned the naming rights to the building. After Clear Communications was acquired in December 2001 to form TelstraClear, the Clear logo was prominently displayed on the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/company-info/media-release-template.cfm?newsid=448 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.insideview.com/directory/telstraclear-limited )〕 The building's naming rights were sold to The Radio Network and it was renamed to Radio Network House during the ownership of Nor West Arch No.4 Ltd. At the time of demolition the logo of Newstalk ZB, a subsidiary of The Radio Network, was displayed on the building.〔
The Canterbury region was hit by a series of earthquakes, and the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake damaged the office building beyond repair.〔 About 400 people worked in the building before the earthquakes.〔 Following the earthquakes, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) was set up to manage the recovery process.
