New photo shows progress on London icon.
A new image has been revealed of the in-progress dismantling process on Battersea Power Station’s famous chimneys. The photo offers a striking vantage point, located at the upper height of the tall stacks and looking out toward the river thames and the expansive cityscape. The process is projected to take two years in total, with work beginning on the facility’s southwest tower as clearly seen in the image above.
The dismantling process begins at the upper level of each tower, with a working platform slowly moving downward as it progresses. debris is transported down a central funnel, and intended for re use or conservation in the project’s legacy program.
Following, a new rig will be assembled for the rebuilding of each chimney. the procedure places new reinforcing and concrete, staged in sections of 1.2 meters in height, and will result in structurally stable stacks identical to the originals.
