Dismantling services overview
Manchester Demolition considers that it is imperative to differentiate between dismantling and demolition as it is a common misunderstanding that they are very similar. This is far from the truth.
Dismantling is generally achieved by a careful reversal of the construction process and is applicable to either the removal of mechanical installations or the taking down of structures.
A combination of dismantling and demolition is often beneficial as it permits the recovery of assets, enabling these to be recycled, re-used or sold to offset the client’s costs. The scope of dismantling projects executed by Manchester Demolition includes but is not limited to:
- Structural Steel Framed Refining/Processing Plant
- Structural Steel Framed Pharmaceutical/Chemical Equipment
- Coal Mining Equipment
- Factory Manufacturing Equipment
- Storage Tanks & Silos
- Structural Steel Framed Pedestrian Suspension and Rail Bridges
