Power Demolition decommissioned and demolished a multi-hall hyperscale data center campus, safely de-energizing and removing power, cooling and IT infrastructure while recovering the substantial copper, transformer and switchgear value the facility contained.
The operator required secure, documented handling of decommissioned hardware alongside recovery of the high copper, transformer and switchgear value typical of hyperscale facilities.
Power and cooling infrastructure had to be safely de-energized and removed across six interconnected data halls without disrupting adjacent active operations.
Power Demolition's integrated decommissioning and asset-recovery teams produced a controlled, well-documented closure plan covering secure hardware handling and chain-of-custody.
UPS systems, battery banks, generators, transformers and switchgear were de-energized, removed and remarketed, while CRAC/CRAH cooling systems and raised-floor infrastructure were dismantled.
Building demolition followed with full recovery of copper, structural steel and other recyclable materials.
Over 1.2 million pounds of copper were recovered, alongside resale-grade transformers and switchgear.
All decommissioned hardware was handled under a secure, documented chain-of-custody.
Material diversion exceeded 90% and the campus was cleared for redevelopment.
