Enterprise Data Center Decommissioning & Equipment Buyout

A Fortune 500 enterprise retiring a legacy corporate data center engaged Power Demolition to decommission the facility, purchase its surplus electrical equipment, and clear the building — converting a closure liability into recovered value.

The enterprise wanted to exit the building quickly while recovering value from transformers, switchgear, UPS systems and generators rather than paying to dispose of them.

Data-bearing and sensitive infrastructure required documented, secure removal.

Power Demolition provided a cash offer for the surplus electrical equipment as part of the decommissioning scope, simplifying the buyout for the client.

Our crews de-energized and removed power and cooling infrastructure, documented secure handling of sensitive hardware, and completed a full interior strip-out.

Recovered transformers, switchgear and UPS equipment were remarketed through Power Demolition's buyer network.

The client converted a closure expense into recovered value through the equipment buyout.

The 45,000-square-foot facility was decommissioned and cleared on a fast-track schedule.

All data-bearing and sensitive infrastructure was removed under documented controls.
