Richborough cooling towers and chimney demolition

Normally John would not be near Ramsgate on a Saturday night and up with the lark on a Sunday morning, but this weekend was an exception as he was at the explosive demolition of Richborough cooling towers and chimney.

The demolition work was carried out by DDS Demolition Limited with the explosive demolition by Keltbray’s Mick Williams and Holly Bennett. C&D involvement was as demolition consultant to UK Power Networks, whose switchgear was adjacent to the towers.

It was an unusual role for C&D on a blowdown as John was virtually a spectator auditing the procedures of DDS and Keltbray to provide re-assurance to UK Power Networks that all would go to plan, and it did.

Congratulations to all at DDS and Keltbray on a textbook implosion.
