Industrial Facility Decommissioning

Full-service decommissioning of industrial facilities, including dismantling systems and equipment, disposal of hazardous materials where applicable, and site preparation for future development.

Overview

Industrial decommissioning involves shutting down, dismantling, and removing equipment and systems from a facility, often as part of a planned site transition or in preparation for redevelopment.

Work is carefully coordinated to manage complex site conditions, regulatory considerations, and safety requirements while preparing the property for its next phase of use.

Site Assessment & Planning

Decommissioning begins with a detailed review of systems, structures, and materials to understand overall site conditions and constraints.

Assessment covers:

Evaluating equipment and infrastructure
Identifying any hazardous materials
Planning sequencing and removal strategy
Coordinating timelines

This ensures all aspects of the project are properly addressed before active work begins, reducing the likelihood of disruptions or delays.

System & Equipment Removal

Equipment and systems are dismantled and removed in a sequenced manner determined during the initial assessment.

Removal typically includes:

Mechanical systems and equipment
Piping, tanks, and process systems
Electrical infrastructure
Fixed equipment and structural elements

Executing removal in planned phases helps maintain control over site conditions, minimizes safety risks, and improves project efficiency.

Tank & Specialized Removal

Specialized systems require specific handling procedures suited to system type and condition.

Specialized work involves:

Removing above and below-ground tanks
Disconnecting associated systems
Preparing equipment for safe removal

Work is completed with consideration for residual contents, pressurized components, and surrounding site conditions to uphold safety compliance.

Disposal

Materials removed during decommissioning are processed according to their specifications for proper handling and final disposal.

Equipment and materials are separated during removal
Waste streams are organized based on classification
Disposal is handled through appropriate facilities
