Abandonment &
decommissioning
Retired pipeline systems taken out of service, removed where required, and closed out with the documentation the file will need.
When a system
comes out of service.
A retired line is still an asset and still a liability. We handle the physical work of decommissioning — in-place abandonment where that is the decision, or full removal where it is not.
Because the same crews perform take-up, coating removal and recovery, the material that comes out can be cleaned, tallied and sold rather than written off, and the waste is characterized, handled and manifested on the way through.
What decommissioning covers
Pipeline retirement

Removal where required
Full removal of the line from the right-of-way when that is the scope.
Recovery of pipe & material
Sorting, tallying and grading recovered material for reuse or sale.
Clean-up
Restoration of the working area and clean-up behind the crew.
Waste handling
All waste handled and manifested according to federal, state and local regulations.
