ON THE BOIL

By MICHELLE SLATER

ANOTHER part of Morwell’s skyline will change later this month when the first of the Hazelwood’s four boiler houses come down in a controlled collapse. ENGIE is scheduled to demolish boiler houses three and four, which are situated at the north-eastern end of the former power station block as part of the Hazelwood Rehabilitation Project, before the end of this year.

The remaining two boiler houses are scheduled for demolition next year. Each boiler house contained two units. ENGIE will establish a 700-metre exclusion zone around each unit during the demolition, and close Brodribb Road between Nadenbouschs Road and Cemetery Avenue. Motorists are advised that traffic on the Princes Freeway will be slowed to

60 kph and also slowed to 80 kph on the Strzelecki Highway, Traffic controls will be put in place to stop vehicles from parking on the side of the carriageway while the primary demolition is underway. ENGIE is also discouraging the public from seeking viewing positions around Hazelwood, but the demolition will be livestreamed on YouTube. An ENGIE spokesman said the

boiler houses will be demolished by a controlled explosive collapse, similar to the chimney controlled collapse earlier this year. “While controls have been implemented to reduce external noise emissions as much as possible, local residents are likely to hear a loud noise at the time of the demolition for a few seconds,� the spokesman said.
