The document discusses two options for addressing unstable towers on a building: removing the towers to the roof level or stabilizing the towers. Stabilizing the towers is presented as the preferred option as it is half the cost of removal and maintains the existing aesthetics of the building. Stabilization would involve drilling holes, installing cement-based anchors of varying lengths, and inflating the anchors to secure the towers.
