J Bryan (Victoria) Ltd celebrates 49th birthday with blowdown

Only in the demolition industry can you celebrate a birthday by blowing something up. And that's exactly what one of our customers, J Bryan (Victoria) Ltd, did with the chimney at The Hanson Castle Cement Plant in Clitheroe, Lancashire.

The stack was dropped into a confined area defined by buildings and live plant, and only minor damage to two cladding sheets was reported. The demolitions generated around 400 tons of asbestos for landfill, 11,000 tons of scrap metal and 5,000 tons of concrete for recycling.
