A Breakdown of the Decommissioning Process

Decommissioning can be a complicated operation of approvals, project deadlines, removing equipment, and cleaning up the remains. 

With NRTC Automation’s attention to detail and commitment to quality, decommissioning is a smooth process from the contract to the walkthrough.

Step-by-Step Process of Decommissioning 

CONTRACT AND 3D SCAN 

First, we will determine the scope of work and the equipment’s wholesale worth. 

After an agreement is signed, NRTC will create a 3D scan of your facility to prepare the best tear out plan. 

PLANNING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT 

The tear out plan is based on your time requirements. If you have a big project coming up or need to move house to another facility, we will work with you to get your facility broom-ready in time. 

In order to stay on task, we provide a dedicated project manager to set key milestones for your progress. Plus, you’ll have a team committed solely to your project to prevent project crossovers and inconvenience. 

PREPARATION 

Before we begin removing your equipment, we’ll prepare the facility for the tear out. 

In order to provide a safe working environment, you’ll have to disconnect the power (lock out tag out), air, and water in your facility, followed by air gapping. This will prevent any injuries to the team or accidents with the equipment and facility. 

DECOMMISSION 

Once the prep is complete, then we can begin the tear out. We will identify the value equipment versus scrap and remove the equipment one section at a time. You can decide the method of removal according to your needs and preferences. 

CLEAN UP 

Once the tear out is complete, we will clean up any loose items as well as remove any bolts or protrusions in the floor back to a flush/smooth surface. We’ll make your facility broom-ready for your convenience. 

WALKTHROUGH 

Once the cleanup is finished, your project manager will complete a checklist walkthrough of the space to ensure that the decommissioning process is complete.
