How to Prepare Your Facility for a Tear Out
Tear outs don’t have to be complicated. With NRTC Automation’s tried-and-true process, we will complete your decommissioning project within your time requirements with a professional and attentive team.
To make the tear out process faster and easier, check out our steps below on how to prepare for a tear out for the best results.
Steps to Prepare for a Tear Out
On your end:
OBTAIN ALL APPROVALS REQUIRED
Before a facility is decommissioned, it’s necessary to obtain all approvals from the board and management teams required to move on with the decommissioning process.
DETERMINE FUTURE USE OF FACILITY
Will your company reuse the facility for a new project, or will a new manufacturer move in to take over the space? Alternatively, the facility may be demolished. Understanding the next phase for the facility will help you plan for the remainder of the tear out.
DETERMINE TIME REQUIREMENTS
Next, find out what the length of the tear out should be. This will be based on the future use of the facility. If another manufacturer or another build is moving into the space, then you will want to leave some room between the end of the decommissioning project and their move-in date.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Decide which equipment will be transferred to another facility for reuse. Once you have completed that step, the remainder of the equipment will be managed by NRTC Automation during the decommissioning process.
DISCONNECT POWER, AIR, AND WATER
Finally, you will want to disconnect your power, air, and water to ensure a safe decommissioning process.
On our end:
CONTRACT
The first step for preparing a tear out is to create a contract for your decommissioning project.
NRTC Automation is dedicated to quality with over a decade of experience. We'll design the best plan for your tear out based on your facility, your equipment, and your timeline.
3D SCAN OF FACILITY
Once the contract is crafted and signed, NRTC Automation will prepare a 3D scan of your facility. This will be useful for decommissioning by visualizing the tear out and determining the most efficient way to remove your assets.
Our 3D technology will provide a layout of your facility as well as photos of all your equipment, allowing NRTC Automation to complete the tear out without delay.
ASSIGN A PROJECT MANAGER AND DEDICATED TEAM
We will assign a project manager to see your tear out from start to finish. Your project manager will be dedicated solely to your project, as will a team of certified professionals in the manufacturing and industrial automation industries.
Our team members will be available throughout the entire project for your tear out needs. You can easily identify them with our NRTC Automation branded safety gear.
DEFINE KEY MILESTONES AND SCHEDULE BASED ON TIME REQUIREMENTS
Your project manager will define key milestones for your project to keep you updated on the progress of the tear out, as well as a definitive schedule based on your time requirements. The timeline you define will be the one we follow as we decommission your facility.
NRTC Automation’s project managers are industry professionals with years of experience to aid you in your tear out. With constant updates on your progress, you’ll never have to worry about the project being sidetracked.
SET UP SAFETY PERIMETERS AND SIGNAGE
Just before the tear out begins, NRTC Automation will post safety signage and set up perimeters to protect our team and yours in dangerous work zones. As mentioned, our team will also wear branded safety gear for easy identification and security.
Safety is our priority. Taking precautions as listed by OSHA will allow our team—and yours—to work efficiently without accident or injury.
Get the most return by preparing.
Once the steps above are completed by both parties, then NRTC Automation can commence the decommissioning process.
Being prepared means you’ll get the most return on your tear out, allowing for a faster process and greater savings.
