Georgia-Pacific demolished a boiler at its downtown Camas mill on Feb. 19 as part of the company’s multiyear revitalization project to modernize the papermaking plant and remove unused buildings.

Contractors used a controlled fall method, which involves the cutting of key structural components of a structure to allow it to be pulled down with heavy equipment, according to a Georgia-Pacific spokesperson.
