REMOVAL OF TU ELECTRIC CHIMNEYS
TU Electric plans to remove two concrete chimneys at the North Main Steam
Electric Station just north of downtown Fort Worth, beginning September 5,
1989. Structural integrity of these two chimneys has deteriorated and
presents a potential safety hazard to the plant's 30 employees.
The two chimneys are 256 feet tall and were built between 1913 and 1915.
A third chimney, built in 1921, will be repaired. All three of these
chimneys were taken out of service in 1973. A fourth chimney, built in
1951, will remain in service.
An experienced contractor will raze the two structures by removing a sec-
tion at a time. The work is expected to be completed within six to eight
weeks from startup. Staff will provide additional information to Council
as desired.
