1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1 Project description
Calls for energy-saving emissions and the negative effects of greater pressure on smaller resources are very common, nowadays. In order to respond positively to such calls to action, the State Electricity Power Company, Ltd, decided to remove an older component of the building, a 60 m high concrete chimney, for a more recent technological innovation. Because of the long duration and difficulty of the removal process, directional blasting was selected for the demolition.
