Demolition and dismantling
Having to consider closing manufacturing assets,
due to their competitive position, is a reality of the
current economy. During this process a range of
outcomes, from business turnaround to shutting a
whole site and selling off the land, must be
considered. Other options include mothballing (for
restart, sale or later demolition) and a range of
scales of demolition (part or all of a site and to
ground level or below).
Once site demolition has been selected as a way
forward, the most effective and suitable solution
must be sought.

works; from site environmental assessments and
isolations and removal / disposal of equipment,
through to full site demolition and remediation.

concerns from potential site purchasers and resolve
