Dismantling of the Chimney by blasting – “Mykolaivcement” (2021)
Published - 26 January, 2022
Construction company “Forest-Ukraine” – recently, in 2021, we successfully dismantled a chimney at the “Mykolaivcement” enterprise.
In addition to the construction of residential buildings and structures, we have long specialized in dismantling buildings and industrial facilities throughout Ukraine – both in large cities – Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv, and cities and towns of regional significance – Lutsk, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk.
The prices for dismantling work in the price list fully satisfied the customer. It was a separate building without technological equipment, which had long ceased to operate. The enterprise’s clinker kilns were shut down in 2014 (before that, they operated using the outdated, energy-intensive wet method). Cement began to be produced from clinker.
The pipe dismantling work was carried out as planned, in accordance with the current safety regulations of Ukraine and international standards of CRH. The dismantling of structures of this type is faced with a large number of organizational and technical measures related to safety and the complexity of the demolition work.
The equipment involved – excavators and dump trucks, bulldozers and tractors, as well as the demolition specialists involved – completed this responsible and complex task qualitatively and on time.
It was decided to demolish the chimney by blasting – this required the involvement of explosives technicians.
More than 100 holes for dynamite were drilled in identified weak points in the structure of the 30-meter concrete pipe.
An explosive device with electric detonators was planted and detonated.
No unplanned or emergency situations! No damage was done to the neighboring buildings. The pipe fell neatly and precisely into the planned sector, after which it was disassembled into its component parts by special equipment and crushed into smaller fractions by a jaw crusher.
An emergency dangerous structure is no longer a problem for the enterprise.
A satisfied customer is the best reward for quality work!
