It’s been part of the Sudbury landscape for nearly 50 years and now it’s coming down. Vale plans to demolish the former Inco Superstack and replace it with two smaller and more efficient chimneys. Superstack will come out of service during 2020 and construction on the smaller chimneys begins this year. Superstack is Canada’s largest chimney at 1,250 feet.
