Expert industrial dismantling and decommissioning, carefully planned around complex plant, live operations and critical site constraints. Safe, controlled and coordinated from initial planning through to final clearance.
Industrial dismantling demands a carefully planned and disciplined approach. Unlike conventional demolition, projects may involve complex process equipment, interconnected structures, live services, hazardous materials and stored energy, often within constrained or partially operational environments.
Daltons develops each dismantling strategy around the specific conditions of the site, ensuring plant, structures and services are identified, isolated and removed in a safe and controlled sequence.
Daltons has experience undertaking selective dismantling of buildings, structures, plant and process equipment within and adjacent to operational facilities.
Each methodology is developed around the client’s operational requirements and may include consideration of service isolations, permit systems, restricted access, production interfaces, emergency arrangements, fire controls and interaction with other contractors or site personnel.
Where operations are continuing, the sequence is carefully coordinated to minimise disruption while maintaining appropriate separation between demolition activities and the client’s workforce, plant and processes.
Industrial dismantling frequently requires complex lifting operations, temporary works and specialist equipment.
Where required, lifting operations are planned and undertaken by suitably competent personnel using appropriate, inspected and certified lifting equipment. Crane operations, engineered lifting arrangements and temporary support requirements are incorporated into the overall dismantling methodology and coordinated with the project programme.
Where hot works are unsuitable or restricted, alternative methods can be employed, including hydraulic shears, mechanical dismantling and cold-cutting techniques.
Plant and equipment identified for reuse or resale is considered during the planning stage so that it can be dismantled, handled and removed in a manner that protects its condition and preserves its recoverable value.
Depending on the project requirements, our scope can include:
The required end condition of an industrial site can vary significantly depending on whether the facility is being retained, reconfigured, sold, redeveloped or returned to a landlord.
Daltons works with the client and wider project team to establish that requirement from the outset and develop the dismantling and demolition strategy accordingly.
This coordinated approach provides a controlled transition from operational facility through decommissioning and dismantling to a safe, clear and well-documented site ready for its next use
Safe, planned demolition from survey to handover.
Appraisal and controlled recovery of reusable plant, equipment and higher-value materials.
Coordinated asbestos information, surveying and remediation planning before intrusive works.
Controlled soft strip, internal downtakings and coordinated decommissioning in live and constrained environments.
Controlled dismantling of industrial structures, plant and equipment in complex environments.
Site-led segregation, material recovery, processing and authorised waste routes.
