Video – Big bang marks latest stage of Inverkip demolition…

Controlled explosion brings down power station boiler house.

A controlled explosion brought down the boilerhouse building at Inverkip Power Station this afternoon.

The steel structure – approximately 57 metres high, 60 metres long and 39 metres wide – vanished in seconds.

The demolition represents a key stage in the clearance process which has been under way at the sprawling site for two years, with the defunct power station land earmarked for a major residential development.
