Description:
In this photo, a unit is about to cut a support beam, while a high-reach unit in the background supports the boiler so it won't fall over too soon. A boiler that was already knocked over can be seen on the left. Contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company used American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to demolish the second of two 50,000-square-foot, coal-burning power houses in Hanford’s 200 Area. Heavy equipment knocked over the facility's large boilers in September 2011.
