Smokestack Trivia n

n

n

n

n

How big is the Smokestack? q 235 ft. tall – 11 ft. wide at the top and 16 ft. at the base. Why is it wrong to call it a “Smokestack”? q It was never used for smoke but to control dust Concrete on the outside…what’s on the inside? q It is lined with brick & mortar up to 75 ft. How long has it been here and how long was it actually used? rd q It just celebrated its 73 birthday but was only used for about 10 years How many stacks did this one replace at the old cement plant? q There were originally 8 When will the Smokestack be gone? q Never! But the icon we know will be down to about 2 ft. by the end of June.

Why We Need to Demolish n n n

73 Years old Severe Deterioration – Concrete and Rebar Costs to restore at least twice (and maybe more) the cost to demolish with no residual benefit Do Nothing is not an option Imminent danger of collapse under right conditions with loss to life and property
