Tata Steel has successfully executed the implosion of two obsolete Coke Plant facilities, Battery 6 Chimney and a Coal Tower, at its Jamshedpur Works under controlled conditions. Today's implosions mark the completion of the dismantling process of obsolete high-rise facilities at the Coke Plant in Jamshedpur Works, which has many firsts to its credit. In a first-of-its-kind engineering process in the world, Tata Steel carried out these implosion activities in an operating steel plant, involving mega structures, tallest in India. The first implosion of a Model Repair Shop of 12-meter height was executed on 4 September 2022, to establish the safe operating procedure inside an operational plant and on 27 November 2022, the Company successfully executed the implosion of an obsolete 110-metre-tall chimney Battery 5 Chimney at the Coke Plant. Now, another concrete Chimney of 110-meter height of Battery 6 Chimney along with a 48-meter-tall Coal Tower were dismantled as planned in a safe and environment-friendly way. The implosions were carried out with the help of the contract partner, Edifice Engineering India, and supported by Jet Demolition South Africa. The controlled implosion of the 110-metre-tall chimneys were executed using a mechanical hinge, enabling the structure to fall in one direction with zero degrees of deviation. ‘Water curtains’ were used to control dust and ‘trenches with berms’ were deployed to absorb vibration. Also, the use of ‘Steel wires mesh’ prevented the debris from getting scattered. The concrete debris generated out of these implosions will be recycled and used in Plain Cement Concrete, wall and road construction. Drones were deployed to improve visibility and help identify the hazards by reaching inaccessible areas and to survey the surrounding areas during implosion. Tata Steel continues to deploy industry-leading solutions and champion the sustainability discourse. Tata Steel is replacing the existing Coke Oven Batteries 5, 6 and 7 with combined capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum with new Coke Oven Batteries 6A and 6B with combined capacity of 1million tonnes per annum in Jamshedpur, with the latest technology and higher energy efficiency.
