- Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, USA (acting as Explosives Subcontractor to Main Demolition Contractor, The BG Group, LLC of Delray Beach, Florida) performs the preparation for and successful explosives felling of the 199’ reinforced concrete windscreen with four (4), full-height steel flues and the structural steel Boiler House located at the Wheelabrator Refuse Power Station in Pompano Beach, Florida on Friday, June 7, 2024. The Boiler was rolled and lowered to that elevation which matched the reach and capacity of BG Group’s fleet of excavators to best match access for secondary debris downsizing and salvage operations.
A nice way to top off my Wednesday with a couple of big booms and a thud or two. Great sound for the home theater system. Keep it up!
*_Picture Perfect..._* great example of hinge point and rotation of steel structure... precise drop with gravity assist... concrete windscreen also didn't stand a chance... like falling a tree but only much bigger and more spectacular... *_Well Done CDI..._*
Thanks CDI. Great Video.
I'm really starting to believe that you guys know what you are doing in the demolition business..... lol 😂😂😂
Always great work!
Nice work CDI!
Amazing work.
Great work as usual :)
I love how the smoke stacks just pancake.
Nice!!!!
The term windscreen in relationship with power plants is a frustrating term to search for. Links to previous CDI videos with the comments section turned off . It seems to be referring to the exhaust stack but no other explanation.
More specifically, its the structure thats colloquially called a smokenstack, which on big plants is really just structure to support ans screen the stacks inside it frkm the wind. As it's collapsing, given can see a few flues or stacks inside it that actually convey the flue gas.
All that came up was “Mesh windscreens at construction sites are critical for many reasons. They provide a non-permanent barrier that keeps the wind from upsetting the debris at the job site, such as sand, dirt, and other construction material.”
I have (had?) no idea what a windscreen was in reference to power stations, so I did some googling. Seems that when a power station is designed, they design the condenser to perform at a certain level to keep the cooling/temps within a specific range. But if they wind up experiencing high winds (which would go across/through the condenser, it causes temps to be out of range (too low, I would assume. I didn’t read the full report. Lol). So they install a windscreen (just looks like a tower to me, but I guess the shape is enough to divert the wind around the condenser), and it helps to put the cooling system back into spec.
Here’s a report I was able to find. I just search for “windscreen power station”, and as you said, a bunch of videos come up that you have to sift through, but below them I found a few different links that reference them, and this report goes into pretty good detail. I definitely want to read it when I have more time. galebreaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Kings-Lynn-Case-Study.pdf
Never heard the term "Windscreen" before.
Just curious, on average, about how many charges survive un-detonated? And do they pose a danger to the clean up crew?
Nice work. Very entertaining!
It would be very unusual to have any fail, a lot of care is taken to prevent this
How do you know if all charges have been terminated? I saw charges going off 3/4s of the way down.
Cdi try released all your old videos demolishing old structures outside america like compilation
Where is the curvature?
A windscreen? Looks like a smoke stack. Can someone explain what it is (or was).
Think of it as a catalytic converter for a coal fired plant. Yes it’s a smoke stack but thanks to decades of research and development pollution had been minimized by using the smoke stack to catch particulate matter. Coal fired plants near me in Alabama had very low pollution levels thanks to this technology and massive spending. So at its peak performance of power output vs pollution a certain president and his minions tripled down on destroying the coal industry completely. Making it impossible to finally make the best use of this plentiful resource. Now these plants are being destroyed, also at great expense. Because some wannabe genius from Chicago that has never held a real job in his life thinks he is smarter than the people that actually make this world work. So plants like this that have produced power for decades and could still be very beneficial are being destroyed. Meanwhile solar farms are failing and wind turbines are killing condors and other protected birds while self destructing in place.
Sorry. The answer was simple. The inspired tirade was uncalled for. 😊
Unusual terminology for me too, I'm thinking the concrete enclosure around the two metal stacks is called a windscreen....??
Do intel shell
😎😎💯💯👍👍✝✝
First the power station drops, chimney next up.
DUDE.
I missed my calling.
👍🤠
Where are all of the comments about how this proves refusal power plants are terrible. Or do we just do that for wind power...
Taller chimney
And there goes more cheap energy!
Or visit australia
Please add the normal opening commentary. Without it this is just a misfire of demo videos.
Stack failure lol.
неправильно, нужно было трубу на здание, потом само здание...

So CDI is the subcontractor...what did the actual Demolition contractor do in this job/project??? Lol
For one, the contractor has to clean up the mess afterwards.
@@kh3612yep, CDI got to do only the fun part
