Dismantling

We have a 3-point approach to the dismantling of factory equipment:

Cleanness – All tools are cleaned, free from dirt that could enter the machines. Lubrication oil will only be used when required and where safe to do so without having any detrimental effects on the machinery.

Value – We handle your machinery with care and attention, we understand the value in your assets. Machines are stripped into smaller, transportable sections using proven mechanical dismantling techniques only.

Access – We’ll review the site for access restrictions before our dismantling team are deployed. We’ll then advise of any prior access recommendations, eg. wall / infrastructure removal, before we start.

Electrical disconnections

As an NIC EIC approved contractor, our electricians will be on site throughout a project to ensure all machinery is disconnected in a safe manner. We will also ensure that no live cables are present in any walls that may need to be removed. Our team will safely isolate all supplies and remove any unnecessary cables.

Equipment crating

Once the machinery is stripped into smaller transportable sections, the equipment will be wrapped ready for packing. Our team of joiners will then build custom-sized crates for the equipment ready for secure and safe shipping.

Packing and crating will usually be completed before the equipment is moved from its original position. This helps keep the machinery clean, but also protects it throughout the journey through the factory.

Site security

Empty buildings can prove an attraction for the wrong kind of people, with machinery, tools and other valuable assets at risk of theft or damage if left unattended.

As standard, we supply welfare units where our engineers sleep overnight during the length of a project, providing security and peace of mind.

Additionally, we’re also able to offer a dedicated 24/7 on-site security option to protect your site and machinery day and night.
