Dismantling

Key to Success

Over the past 5 decades Metals and Plant have carried out a wide variety of complex dismantling projects in all manner of live premises such as heavy industrial and from over live railways. The key to Metals and Plants long success in our plant and other decommissioning services is through exceptional planning and understanding of the task in hand across the board, from managerial personnel down to site operatives, and likewise in all our other services

What Matters

The health & safety of everyone on the site, including your employees and ours, is of the upmost importance. We therefore ensure a full site specific risk assessment is undertaken prior to starting work, which then allows a task specific method statement to be produced using our tried and tested safe methods. Our highly trained site supervisors and specialist engineers will then project manage the works through to its safe and environmentally friendly completion.

Dismantling Techniques

Dismantling services can be split into two categories, Non-destructive dismantling and Dismantling by design.

Dismantling by Design

To remove a structure, plant or piece of equipment without the need to maintain its integrity for reuse. Usually associated to live operational areas within confined spaces and difficult to reach places within a plant or structure. The need to maintain the asset's integrity for reuse is not required, thus allowing alternative methods of dismantling to be utilised; machine operations, mechanical or hot/cold cutting techniques can be utilised to undertake the disinvestment.

Non-Destructive Dismantling

To remove a structure, plant or piece of equipment in such a way that its integrity for reuse is not compromised. The driving force behind this type of dismantling is predominantly the requirement for reuse or resale of the asset. Our ability to plan, tag, label and log, carefully dismantle and package a wide variety of plants, equipment and structures, enables the client to maximise the value of the disinvestment on site.
