125-metre chimney – Bos Nieuwerkerk
Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard on assembling a chimney measuring an impressive 125 metres in height. After applying the protective coating, the 30-tonne steel structure was moved from our workshop in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel to its final destination in Zutphen.
A chimney of great height
Under the guidance of Arjen Kandt, the chimney arrived safely and without a scratch. On site, the rule was clear: the higher the lift, the calmer the wind needs to be. Fortunately, the team from Blansjaar kept a close eye on the weather. The chimney was installed piece by piece and secured with bolts. Since this chimney—unlike its predecessor—stands completely free, we installed a vibration damper to absorb the wind forces and keep the structure safe. We’re incredibly proud of this chimney and the hard work our team put into making it happen!
