The height of the structures required a unique solution to safely demolish them. In total, more than 1,600 tons of steel were salvaged from this undertaking.

Commencing in April 2021, a momentous undertaking unfolded on the premises. In June 2022, the top-hung boilers were safely and spectacularly brought down using precisely executed explosives, marking a significant milestone in the project's timeline.
