“Tipping” as it’s called, is one of the most economic ways to take down water towers. The Plano Water Tower was demolished in 2015 to make way for new developments. This 178-foot structure was built in Legacy Park in 1985 and once held up to 2 million gallons of water. The Plano Water Tower was no longer in use since 2010. The demolition process involved strategic cuts that allowed the tower to be dropped in a specific fashion and direction. The tower had to be carefully weakened on one side of the tower to control the direction in which it fell. The Plano Water Tower was built to be tall and wide to accommodate a large amount of water. However, the tower was no longer needed due to the city’s growing water infrastructure. The Plano Water Tower was a landmark in the city of Plano and its demolition made room for Legacy West, a new development. Legacy West is home to many businesses, including FedEx Office, Toyota, and Liberty Mutual Insurance. The Plano Water Tower may be gone but its story still lives on. Let us move on.
