Video – Dykon blasts paper mill boiler…

Blast marks latest stage in International Paper Mill demolition programme.

One of the last structures of the former International Paper mill was demolished Saturday morning.

Former paper mill employees, along with curious onlookers, stood just behind the 1,000 foot safety line to watch the implosion of what was once the IP boiler.

The coal dust within the boiler ignited briefly but, according to engineers from Dykon which carried out the implosion, this was predicted and allowed for in its plans.
