BARKING POWER STATION - CHIMNEY COLLAPSE

Monitoring the Vibration during Chimney Collapse

at Barking Power Station

Vibration Monitoring Services was asked by DDM Dismantling Ltd to set up vibration equipment early one cold Sunday morning to monitor the vibration levels generated during the collapse of two chimneys at the old Barking Power Station. Profound Vibra+ monitors were sited at four locations around the site and recorded the vibration levels generated  as the chimneys came down.

The collapse went without a hitch and the vibration generated was acceptable around the site with the highest level recorded at 12.36mm/s at 2Hz.
