Demolition

Tanks, industrial equipment, pipeline-associated structures and retired infrastructure — taken down and cleared.

Overview

When the facility comes
down as well as the line.

Pipeline projects rarely stop at the pipe. Tanks, meter buildings, station equipment and the structures around them often have to come down in the same mobilization.

The material has to be characterized, handled and manifested correctly on the way out, and the recoverable steel is worth sorting rather than scrapping wholesale. We handle that work alongside our pipeline and environmental scopes, so one contractor carries the site from shutdown to close-out.

Capabilities
