We believe that it is important to differentiate between dismantling and demolition. It is a common misconception that these processes are one in the same. Dismantling is generally achieved by a careful reversal of the construction process. This is applicable to either the removal of mechanical installations or the un-building of a structure. A combination of dismantling and demolition is often beneficial as it permits the recovery of assets, enabling them to be re-used or sold to offset the client’s relocation or closure costs and to meet overall business restructuring objectives. The scope of dismantling projects carried out by The Leipold Group includes:
- Refining/processing plant
- Pharmaceutical/chemical equipment
- High-rise steel structures
- Factory manufacturing equipment
- Packaging lines
- Storage tanks & silos
- Textiles machines
- Barns & agricultural buildings
The Leipold group has successfully completed many complex projects, including the dismantling of fire-damaged plants and structures. Our management teams are experts at planning, coordinating and executing projects with critical programmed constraints.
