Epiroc is equipping the decommissioning of power plant block F in Gelsenkirchen-Scholven with hydraulic hammers. The Swedish manufacturer, known for mining and tunneling equipment, is thereby opening up the growing business field of power plant dismantling. With Germany's accelerated coal phase-out, the demand for specialized demolition technology for large-scale facilities is increasing: by 2030, around 30 gigawatts of coal-fired power plant capacity must be taken off the grid nationwide. Providers of high-performance hydraulic hammers are benefiting from complex decommissioning projects in which reinforced concrete and massive boiler structures must be broken up.
