Remembering NZ's best retired power station

Hi all

Given that demolition is well apace at this site, I felt like putting together one edit of our visits there. We won't see a similar site in New Zealand for some time. I'll put some info below the video.



This 600 MW thermal power station has dominated the landscape since its construction in 1972, with a 90 foot tall chimney made from 16,400 tonnes of concrete, 1200 tonnes of reinforcing steel and almost 1,000,000 bricks. Decommissioned in 2007, its demolition is now well underway, relegating the environments captured on video here to mere memories.
