SURAT: On Tuesday, a controlled explosion was used to demolish a 30-year-old
cooling tower located at the Utran Power Station in Gujarat's Surat.

The tower was made of reinforced concrete and was 85 metres tall, with a
diameter of approximately 72 meters. The demolition took place at around
11.10am.
Officials said 220 kg of commercial explosives were used for demolition. The
tower came down within seven seconds with a loud noise, sending up a huge layer
of dust.


As a precautionary measure, the area around the power station, which is situated
on the banks of the Tapi river, was barricaded to keep people around 250-300
metres away from the tower.
An official said explosives were set up after drilling the column and the help
of experts was taken.
"The tower was part of the 135-MW power plant of the Gujarat State Electricity
Corporation and was used for cooling purposes. It was 85 metres in height, with
a bottom diameter of 72 metres," said in-charge additional chief engineer, RR
Patel.
He said the other plant of 375 MW capacity in the gas-based power plant is up
and running.
"The razing of the tower, constructed in 1993, became necessary owing to
techno-commercial reasons and the approval of the Central Electricity Authority
was taken in 2017. In September 2021, the demolition process began, and the
boiler, generator, turbine, and transformer were razed," said Patel.
