We buy steel pipe
and remove pipelines.

We purchase surplus, retired and recovered pipe outright — whether we removed it or not. Take-up, abandonment and decommissioning, with environmental remediation and demolition around it.

Pipeline take-up

From right-of-way
to recovered asset.

We locate and expose the line, cut it into handling lengths, lift it clear and haul it out — then clean, tally and grade what comes off the ditch. Coated pipe routes through our own cleaning process, so it never stalls the schedule.

Environmental

Remediation built
around the pipe.

Coal tar enamel and epoxy coatings that may contain asbestos or PCBs, removed mechanically at less than five minutes per double random length — under HEPA filtration and negative air pressure, to a NACE-II visual standard.
