135 m chimney · 5° corridor
PowerLive plant135 m5° corridor
The constraint
Felling a 135 m RCC chimney sitting 40 m from a live ID fan and switchyard — a miss of a few degrees would take out the station.
The drawing
Dr. Anand Sharma designed a high-precision hinge cut on electronic detonators. The shaft rotated into a 5-degree fall corridor.
The result
Zero impact on power infrastructure. Station stayed live.
