Prestonpans, GBR. 26 / Sep / 2015. ScottishPower, East Lothian Council and Police Scotland have confirmed the demolition of the twin chimney stacks at the former Cockenzie Power Station site. The controlled explosive demolition is planned to take place at 12 noon on Saturday 26th September. Immediately following the chimney demolition, a second controlled explosion will be initiated to bring down the turbine hall structure. The demolition will be undertaken by Brown and Mason, who have successfully managed similar projects for ScottishPower in recent years at Inverkip Power Station and Methil Power Station. Cockenzie coal fired power power station was built in 1968 on Firth of Forth at Prestonpans in East Lothian. It had 4x 300 MW units and subsequently fitted low NOx burners to reduce acid pollution.
