The second-tallest structure ever constructed in Ontario and all of Canada — the enormous Inco Superstack in Sudbury — will be demolished in the coming years.
The Inco Superstack previously held the record of the world's tallest chimney from its completion in 1971 until 1987, when it was overtaken by the Ekibastuz GRES-2 Power Station in Kazakhstan. This dominance will soon come to an end, though, as Vale Base Metals announced Wednesday that it will move forward with a meticulous dismantling of the massive chimney by as early as 2029 and as late as the early 2030s — an inevitability that was sealed in 2020 when the stack was decommissioned to reduce emissions
Vale Base Metals' Director of Operations Gord Gilpin acknowledged that the chimney and its smaller sibling have stood as"iconic landmarks in Greater Sudbury for decades" in a news release announcing plans for the massive chimney's removal.
