Brown and Mason carries out successful blast at Kent power station.
The turbine hall at Kingsnorth Power Station was demolished with a controlled explosion earlier today.
Energy firm E.ON owns the site.
It was brought down in dramatic fashion at 1pm.
The 35 metre high turbine hall once housed the boiler and four 500 MW turbo-generators for the former coal-fired power station.
Many of the smaller buildings at Kingsnorth Power Station have already been removed from the 1.6km-sq site. The turbine hall’s scale and visibility on the Medway skyline mean its demolition will mark a significant milestone in the site clearance of the 2,000MW coal-fired plant. The power station closed down in March 2013. The 198m-high chimney still stands.
