Case study

Efficient Decommissioning and Asset Recovery for a Recycling Plant

Challenge

A large recycling facility needed to decommission part of its operations, requiring careful planning to ensure safety, compliance, and financial efficiency. The project needed to follow CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations, ensuring risks were assessed and mitigated before dismantling work began.

Additionally, the company wanted to recover value from its redundant equipment quickly but didn't want the delays and uncertainties of private resale.

Solution

Metcalfe Projects was brought in to manage the decommissioning process, ensuring the project adhered to CDM regulations from the outset. Our team developed a structured plan, identifying risks, coordinating contractors, and ensuring a safe dismantling process.

To maximise financial recovery, we leveraged our strong relationship with a leading auctioneer, allowing the client to turn surplus assets into funds quickly. This provided an efficient and hassle-free alternative to traditional equipment resale.

Results

  • Smooth, CDM-Compliant Planning - A structured approach ensured compliance with health and safety regulations before work began.
  • Safe and Efficient Decommissioning - The site was cleared on schedule, minimising business disruption.
  • Rapid Asset Recovery - The auction process allowed the client to convert equipment into funds within weeks, avoiding long sales negotiations.

Conclusion

Metcalfe Projects provides end-to-end decommissioning solutions for the recycling industry, combining careful CDM-compliant planning with efficient asset recovery through auctioning. Our ability to turn surplus assets into funds quickly makes us a trusted partner for businesses looking to close sites while maximising financial returns.
