Fourth demolition at Rugeley Power Station to take place today
The fourth controlled collapse demolition at Rugeley Power Station is set to take place this morning.
Steel structures as high as 70m will be demolished using explosives from 10am.
An exclusion zone will be in place before, during and after the collapse and noise "may be heard" and road sweepers will be made available to clear any dust from the demolition, a spokesman for owner ENGIE said.
The exclusion zone is within the power station boundary fence and there will be no public access to the area or impact on the local road network.
The other main structures, including the rest of the boiler house, chimney and cooling towers are scheduled for controlled collapse in 2020. The complete demolition of the site is expected in 2021.
