By Rosalind Russell – Vale Base Metals has produced a short video detailing the plan to dismantle Sudbury’s Superstack this summer.
According to the release, a lot of preparation work has already been done, such as removing the steel liner from the inside walls of the stack.
The planning phase included engineering assessments, mitigation strategies and rigorous safety plans covering every aspect of the project.
The company has mobilized expert teams to develop and implement procedures for safely deconstructing these massive structures, setting up exclusion zones and performing continuous hazard assessments throughout the project.
Vale adds that the dismantling effort will be one of the tallest structural demolitions ever attempted in North America.
The stack became operational in 1972 and is regarded as an engineering marvel.
