An explosion took place at the site at 8.10pm last night.
Two tall chimneys standing at 85metres high, two battery bunkers, a junction house and the connecting high-level conveyors were all levelled in a detonation.
The structures stood above the coke ovens which were built in 1979 and comprised 132 individual chambers where coal was heated for more than 17 hours creating coke to feed the blast furnace.
The demolition programme at Teesworks is well under way with many large structures already levelled, including the adjacent Stock Houses, hundreds of metres of high-level conveyor, the area workshops and numerous raw materials handling facilities such as the Flux Bunker and Ore Bunker.

Later this summer further explosive demolitions are planned to include the last section of the Sinter Plant and its chimney stack, the PCI plant and a gas holder among other structures across the site.
When the steelworks are demolished, earth clearance and ground remediation is set to take place to prepare the land for development.
A spokesperson for Tees Valley Combined Authority said: “By demolishing the former steelworks, earth clearance and ground remediation can begin to create investor-ready land for schemes such as bp’s Net Zero Teesside Power project, which is set to create more than 3,000 jobs during construction.
