The Cockenzie Power Station is set to be demolished, with today being the day that the two 34-metre high and 300-tonne steel precipitator structures are being imploded as part of an 18-month job to completely remove the station from the site.
The controlled explosion is set to happen at 2pm today by specialists Brown and Mason. Once down, a further 14 precipitator structures remain and will also face implosion. However, the most exciting part of the demolition is yet to come. Those two chimneys you see in the image above are also set to be demolished, but not until early next year.
There's no date set for the chimneys to come down yet, but it might be an event you want to attend. They are a local landmark having stood for 45 years, and this will clearly change the skyline forever.
