Wallerawang Power Station explosive demolition [NSW, Australia]

The decommissioning of the existing coal- fired Wallerawang Power Station, New South Wales was a complex operation. The scope included the demolition of two 59m boiler units, two 177m tall stacks, precipitators, coal handling plant conveyors, auxiliary bay, removal of equipment from within the turbine hall, smaller buildings, workshops, stacker reclaimer, road reclaim hopper, live storage hopper, complete HAZMAT removal and civil works. Various challenges we faced due to the location and sensitive nature of the site. Several heritage structures located within and surrounding the site include an existing stack from the original power station, a stone viaduct that crosses Cox’s River and the Church of St John the Evangelist. These assets are required to be protected and kept intact for the full duration of the project. The project was completed within a two-year timeframe and allowed the land to be returned to Greenspot and reused as an industrial park development.
