Canadians on the look-oot for weekend implosion.
The remaining structure of the Parrish & Heimbecker Mill, in Saskatoon’s West Industrial area, is scheduled for demolition by explosives tomorrow at 6 am (local time).
The demolition will be performed by Winnipeg-based contractor Rakowski Cartage & Wrecking Ltd., which is a licensed blasting specialist.
“The process began this March when the City of Saskatoon issued a permit to demolish the lower structure portions of the building with the use of heavy equipment,” explains Kara Fagnou, Building Standards Director. “Because of its height, the demolition of the upper portion will need to be completed using explosives.”
A designated exclusion zone will be in place two hours prior to the blast limiting public access near the site.
