Demolition and Changeover
The primary element of plant modernization includes the removal of equipment, secondary support steel and building structures. There are various levels of demolition Western Industrial Contractors utilizes on these Plant Modernization Projects to achieve stringent safety standards and accommodate the objectives of our customer.
-
Demolition includes the cutting and removal of equipment where the objective is to remove and dispose. Traditionally, as defined by Western's work experience, demolition does not destroy by use of explosives or a wrecking ball. This is the most common assumption associated with the word “demolition.” Ultimately, it’s about precision. It isn’t feasible to shutdown a live-active facility during the modernization process. When you can dissect and remove equipment without collateral damage, it allows a facility to maintain its day-to-day operations. Most importantly, above all else, a higher level of safety is achieved.
- Surgical Demolition includes the careful disassembly of equipment to be salvaged for reinstallation at a later date.
- Clean Demolition occurs after either demolition or surgical demolition and involves painting, floor refinishing and restoring lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler lines.
Western’s demolition projects with the United States Postal Service (USPS) have always taken place in active facilities. We allow our customer to proceed in processing mail with minimal interference to meet our ultimate goal, customer satisfaction.
