DEMOLITION | Asbury Power Plant

A landmark on the prairie in northwestern Jasper County for more than 50 years, the Asbury Power Plant, with its 465’ and 400’ tall reinforced concrete chimneys, was felled by Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) for its client, GSD Companies, the Main Demolition Contractor clearing the site.
The Hung Boiler/SCR, Baghouse and two (2) Chimneys were independently delayed in CDI’s sequential felling of all of the structures at the site in a single implosion sequence on June 29, 2023.

Wow! One of your best productions ever: drone shots, synchronized stack felling, incidental pyrotechnics! This one had it all!

[@mhonella]

Some things never get old, especially these videos. Your video production and editing get better with each new presentation. How long does it take ( including engineering) to prepare for a shot like this? Please keep them coming; and thank you for sharing!

The chimneys falling - such a graceful end to a long working life - cheers.

Excellent precise work - again, with the assistance of gravity! Great angles and nice drone shots. 👌👋

Beautiful as always

[@richharvey7234]

Love the side-by-side, before and after shots plus the descriptions of what was coming down. Excellent work on this job!

[@jonbicho9840]

It is a very dramatic implosion. I thought the flashing of the coal dust was captured so well. Another great way to get into the weekend. Bravo!

[@kathleenharvey5538]

Love the drone shots. Fascinating.

[@sneaks01]

Such precision! You always amaze me!! 😊

[@chadbothern7255]

[@SpikeSixFourSix]

Great job as always! It was nice to see your crew getting things ready.

Nothing like a little coal dust fire for that Hollywood flair.

[@archieohare]

The inevitable falling of chimneys always looks bewitching!

[@craigw.miller9820]

More great work from the masters.

[@iseespots6014]

I love the shot descripitons of all the work you put in!!!

[@luciusvorenus9445]

Well done! Great shot and great video!!

[@remmiemax3624]

Prepwork in the begining and split screen at the end 👍👍😎😎Perhaps some narrating obout the prepwork & perhaps some so-mo action. Just MHO.

The "choreography" of this implosion is amazing. The "pyrotechnics" are a nice touch also.

[@jamesarthofer3413]

Beautiful work! Nice drone video. Love these shorter takes, nobody talking, no overdramatized “Documentary “

[@dustinboyce25]

Love the delays, the chimneys are like "Hey guys! Wait for us!". Those are some beautiful shots
