Contractor Brown & Mason is set to go into the history books next Wednesday when it implodes the chimney at Grain Power Station in Kent. Standing at 244 meters tall, it's two-and-a-half times taller than Big Ben and taller than 55 stacked double-decker buses. It's basically really really tall.
The site is owned by energy company Uniper who intends to turn the old power station into a new, 1,275MW gas-fired modern power station. So far 5 demolition contracts have been carried out to clear the site, with the chimney implosion being the 6th. In total, 84,000 tons of material has been removed and recycled.
