Aluminum & Smelter Plant Demolition

Decommissioning and demolition of aluminum smelters and primary metals plants.

Power Demolition decommissions and demolishes aluminum smelters and primary-metals plants nationwide — potlines, reduction cells, cast houses, rectifier yards and material handling. These facilities contain enormous electrical and structural value along with regulated materials such as spent potliner, and we manage both safely.

Our crews recover and recycle the massive quantities of aluminum, copper bus, steel and electrical equipment these plants contain, manage hazardous materials, and deliver a clean, remediated site. We can also purchase the rectifiers, transformers and bus outright.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy the electrical equipment in a smelter?

Yes. Smelters are rich in rectifiers, transformers and copper bus; we recover, remarket and purchase this equipment to offset closure cost.
