A demolition company is vowing to make repairs after the implosion of two smokestacks at a shuttered Pennsylvania power plant caused damage to nearby homes.
A blast of air and dust from the implosion of two smokestacks at a shuttered coal-fired power plant in western Pennsylvania last week felled power poles and caused damage to nearby homes. But the demolition company is vowing full repairs.
Controlled Demolition said in a statement that the chimneys fell “exactly where they were supposed to” and noise and vibration levels were “well below" allowable state environmental protection limits, KDKA-TV reported. But, the company said, the larger chimney's steel liner “focused air pressure as it collapsed upon impact.”
The company's statement said repairs of “minor damages caused by the focused air pressure” had already begun and promised that they "will be fully completed to the satisfaction of each property owner affected," KDKA-TV reported. “They were out cleaning up 15 minutes after the blast, getting streets open, they went around pressure-washing cars off, so in my eyes they’re trying to do right," Moretti said. “As long as they take care of the people, I don’t have a complaint. As far as I can tell right now, everybody’s pleased with their response.”
