PRECISION IN ACTION
Sandow Power Plant | Rockdale, Texas
Project Synopsis:
Demtech played a lead role in the explosive demolition of the 1.1-gigawatt Sandow Power Plant—formerly a major coal-fired facility in central Texas that ceased operations in 2018. Beginning in 2023, our team partnered with Integrated Demolition and Remediation to take on the phased dismantling of the site using a combination of mechanical and explosive techniques.
Demtech’s focus: safely and precisely bringing down large reinforced concrete and steel structures, including chimneys, boilers, baghouses, silos, and towers.
Demolition scope included:
4 concrete chimneys
2 coal silos
2 steel towers
2 SCR units
3 boilers (2 completed, final scheduled for fall 2025)
This project exemplifies Demtech’s ability to manage high-risk, large-scale industrial demolitions with the precision, care, and technical expertise that define our work.
