For nearly 50 years the two 300-foot stacks at Grainger Generating Station served as the gateway to the Grand Strand for beach-bound travelers.

In 2012 Santee Cooper retired the station as part of our shift to a more diversified generating fleet. National Salvage and Service Corporation began dismantling the station in 2015.

The stack demolition was handled by CDI, a Maryland firm with 60 years experience. Bringing down the mammoth stacks parallel to Highway 501 was no small feat, but much of the work in in the preparation. From detonation to dust, the entire operation took about 10 seconds.

Plans are to layer the ground with soil, grade it and cover the site with grass.
