Trident was the OPM on a project in West Palm Beach that required the implosion of a 30+-story condominium building several years ago to make way for a new condominium project. At that time, it was the 2nd tallest building in the US to be imploded. It was captured by the Discovery Channel. One adjacent building was just 30 feet away. All residents/occupants of adjacent buildings had to be evacuated. Many sent to hotels at their request. It went off flawlessly.

We had a very large TRIDENT banner made to place on the building since the Discovery Channel would air this event but decided not to place it on the building just in case something went awry.
