DEMOLITION | C.D. McIntosh Power Plant Boiler and High Conveyor

- Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, USA, acted as Explosives Subcontractor to Total Wrecking and Environmental, LLC of Tonawanda, New York, at the C.D. McIntosh Power Plant in Lakeland, Florida. On March 4, 2023, CDI performed the explosives lowering of the 225’ tall Unit #3 Boiler House/integral Hung Boiler, and the 620’ long, 160’ tall, High Coal Conveyor System that ran just outside of the active substation at the site. CDI’s engineered preparation of the Unit #3 Boiler House easily resisted wind gusts of up to 40 mph just hours prior to CDI’s felling of the unit without incident. The Boiler was felled on schedule to yield a 44’ tall well broken, well positioned debris pile to facilitate rapid and safe removal. The High Conveyor System was rolled away from the switchyard without damage to same, dramatically reducing extended exposure of workers to demolition operations at high places and avoiding the risks associated with cable tripping of the structure immediately adjacent to the switchyard to remain. This was Phase II of the project.

Was the fire and black smoke explosion from coal dust? I know cretin dust can be volatile. I have never seen that much fire in one of your demos. Was this a surprise?
It's happened before and usually is not planned but it happens. Residual coal and coal dust can be ignited during a felling/lowering demolition procedure, causing that phenomena. It is fuel, after all.
I imagine the inside of that combustion chamber was covered thick with coal dust, and it was all dislodged and made airborne with the detonation. Makes a great fuel/air bomb.
Always love it when I see a new CDI video has come out. You make it look so easy! I want to see an implosion irl, wonder when I can see one!
Me too!
Wondering if the firewall was coal dust or someone needed some effect on film for ... a film ...
great musical score for this one!
Wild seeing all these units coming down. I used to work security out there 12 yrs ago.
I just love when a new CDI video comes out!
I've been following CDI's work quite a long time now and IMHO your professionalism has increased since I started watching your projects. I remember the very l-o-n-g documentary that I saw and I am still impressed with CDI. Thank you for providing excellent "entertainment" over the years. ❤😉🏆🏆🏆
Thank you!
@@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC also love your work, want to see an implosion irl
The "Dynamite Dynasty" documentary about the implosion of the Traveler's Insurance Building in 1988, in downtown Boston is still one of my all time favorites - for over 30 years!

I wish I could do camera/video work with you guys!!! That’d be sooo awesome!!!!!!!
Great video as always love the drone work
Just curious how long does it take to clean all that up😮
Dang it, 20 minutes from my house and still missed yall😢... I want to see this live, I have my own PPE... I WANNA BE A SPECTATOR... Bucket list stuff, ya know!
looks like you'll have to settle with this video.
I wouldn’t be surprised if making videos is designed to discourage spectators. They don’t want the liability of you being present.
You wouldn't have been able to get very close. They blocked off the road at both ends during this.
CDI just can't do any wrong. They just continue on being absolute Masters
Love the music, the angles, the vibe..... great videographer, great work. How long does it take to prep a job like that?
Well another coal fired power plant goes bye bye
Oh wow! I thought that structure looked familiar…I’ve driven the road under that coal conveyor many times (wondering why we still have coal plants).
Your work is amazing - I have been watching CDI demolitions (on TV) since I was a little kid.
You are truly the #1 family in precise blasting!!!
Nice you are still doing this thing.
Awesome! Wonder what that fireball was..
There’s so much action happening it’s hard to keep your eyes on one area!
Professionalism at work again - excellent video footage :)
If only CDI could do that to all of Florida
Brilliant video thanks for posting it up 😊😊
Top Notch, Everything!
You know you guys have done it well for long enough where your companies name becomes the industry standard term for your work. Great job guys!
😢Well, another coal fired power plant bites the dust..I must admit though your group does a great job w/ the Demolitions& Camera work.
It is kind of amazing that we are watching the unbuilding of the old industrial way of life of the 20th century...
another great job by the boys at C.D.I. , no drama , just 4, 3, 2, 1, fire and it gone . on the ground and ready to haul away . on to the next job . if you have some thing that realy realy must go away call C.D.I. and its gone.
What would happen if they put a camera of some sort INSIDE while it’s going down?
What, exactly, good was the water monitor doing, other than making a large puddle away from any dust and debris?
So what happens when all the coal fired plants are gone? Think about the steadily disappearing base load capacity and the push to switch to electric vehicles…

😍😍😍😍😍
The hits just keep on coming. 😲 Skillfully artistic. 😎
Really digging the music. I always get excited when you upload a new video.
love how some of that coal caught on fire... for the last time thank goodness.
Beautiful det. 👍 Controlled chaos.. hell a job.
Yeah, we'll just use one hose for the dust suppression. 🙂
Vocês tem o vídeo da implosão do palace 2 no Rio de janeiro?
Fireball , I always was thinking why in these old coal fire boilers, you don't see a fireball when they come down ? But you can in this one!
You can see a demolition charge go off at the area where the fire initially started! And the fire managed to sustain itself for 5 seconds!
CDI - working for Gravity every job! 😂
Your Company and employees are amazing!!
Like everyone else we love the drone shots!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Dam nice ..love it...ty. CDI...
I love the way you engineer each implosion, using the correct amount of explosives that are strategically placed to create the desired effect on the structure. Another great job!
You guys and gals just keep doing it right!!
Love the videos and fly overs.
Pancaked leftovers.
Removing one eyesore at a time
Awesome demo and video footage. I’m guessing the music was a royalty free one from UA-cam, can you tell me the name of it?
AShamaluev Music. We've been using his music for a while now. He has some good tracks to pick from. I'm actually running out of decent music to pick from so if anyone has any suggestions???
@@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC thanks. I found him on UA-cam and UA-cam music and that track you used on this demolition.
@@Bama1963 You're welcome!
Dear CDI
I had liked your Demolitions (Implosions) since I was grade 2 (and now I a.m incoming grade 6.) So it is great revisiting the nostalgia that I had. It is quite impressive seeing these again. It is also impressive due to the fact how you put your efforts demolishing. I used to think that you would just add bombs, but now, you have to calculate for the correct amount. It is nice to see old and ugly buildings coming down. (I am sorry to say this but, can you say the structures demolished in the video “CDI the art of demolition” because all those buildings look beautiful and it is sad fore me to see them coming down (but even if it is the first building in that video that you can label, that would be much appreciated).
Also my grade 2 was around 2018 and 2019 I guess and the Video “CDI the art of demolition” was nostalgic considering that it was probably my first video.
Excellent shot!!!!
