Explosive demolition of Junction House 40 and 41

On Wednesday 16th March 2022 Junction Houses 40 and 41 within the former Raw Materials Area of the Redcar Steel Works zone at Teesworks were safely brought down by explosive demolition.

The two major structures were part of the network of high-level conveyors that moved the raw materials from their stock grounds to bunkers, ready to be used as part of the iron and steel making process.

The blowdown formed part of the ramped-up demolition programme to clear and remediate hundreds of acres of land to make it investor-ready for companies coming to the site. This includes Net Zero Teesside Power and SeAH Wind Ltd, with projects that will create thousands of jobs for local people.
