Two smokestacks were 120 meters high, while the third one had been partially dismantled to the height of +60.0 meters. The lower foundation’s diameter was 8.8 meters, and the internal top diameter was 4.7 meters (with a height of 120 meters). The construction waste was sorted and removed to the disposal site.
Material: reinforced concrete, metal structures, in-situ reinforced concrete with select clay brick lining based on andesite mortar (smokestacks).
