When a merchant power producer retired a natural gas generating station, Power Demolition managed the complete shutdown, dismantling and liquidation of plant equipment — recovering gas turbines, generators, transformers and switchgear for resale while clearing the site for the owner.
The owner wanted to maximize recovered value from a relatively modern fleet of gas turbines, generators and electrical equipment rather than simply scrap the plant.
Decommissioning had to be completed under a strict environmental compliance program with no spills or releases during fluid and oil management.
Power Demolition developed a plant shutdown and decommissioning plan that prioritized the orderly removal and protection of resale-grade equipment.
Gas turbines, generators, transformers and switchgear were de-energized, drained, rigged and crated for remarketing through our equipment-buying network.
Remaining structures, piping and balance-of-plant systems were dismantled and demolished, with all ferrous and non-ferrous material routed to recycling.
Five gas turbines plus generators and electrical equipment were recovered and remarketed, materially reducing the owner's net closure cost.
Over 30,000 tons of material were recycled with full environmental compliance and zero reportable releases.
The project was completed with zero lost-time safety incidents and the site cleared per the owner's schedule.
