Plant Decommissioning

Safe shutdown, de-energization and decommissioning of industrial plants.

Decommissioning is the critical first phase of any plant closure, and Power Demolition is a full-service facility decommissioning contractor trusted to safely take complex industrial facilities from live operation to a cold, de-energized, demolition-ready state. We manage lockout/tagout, system isolation, draining and purging of process and fuel systems, chemical cleaning, and the safe removal of stored energy and hazardous materials.

Our power plant decommissioning and industrial plant decommissioning teams document every isolation, produce turnover packages, and coordinate closely with plant engineering and regulators. By integrating decommissioning with our asset recovery and demolition divisions, we capture maximum salvage value while reducing the owner's long-term environmental liability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between decommissioning and demolition?

Decommissioning is the safe shutdown, isolation and cleaning of a facility so that it can be entered and worked safely; demolition is the physical takedown that follows. Power Demolition performs both as an integrated scope.

Can you decommission a plant while part of it stays operational?

Yes. We routinely phase decommissioning around live operations, with strict isolation boundaries and coordination so unaffected systems keep running safely.
