FALL RIVER — A spokesperson for the company organizing Saturday’s planned demolition of the cooling towers on Brayton Point confirmed Friday that rescheduling the detonation due to inclement weather is “very unlikely.”

John Kowalik, a spokesman for Commercial Development Company, said Friday morning that, despite the chance of showers in the forecast for Saturday, the tower implosion will move forward as planned for 8 a.m.

Kowalik also noted that it wouldn’t necessarily be rain but a chance of strong winds that would delay the demolition. However, he said Saturday’s forecast is not expected to be that severe. A rain date had been scheduled for Sunday morning.

Commercial Development Company, which is dismantling the former Brayton Point Power Station to build a new manufacturing facility for wind turbine components, claims Saturday’s demolition will set a world record for the largest-ever implosion of a cooling tower. The 500-foot concrete structures took four years and $600 million to build and have only punctuated Somerset’s skyline for the last six years.

State and local police plan to establish roadblocks across sections of I-195, Route 24 and municipal streets leading up to the 8 a.m. detonation. An exclusion zone is also limiting travel onto Brayton Point at the time of the implosion, as well as in the waters surrounding the cooling towers.

The demolition is expected to last 10 seconds.
