Removing redundant plant or tanks frequently requires more than dismantling alone. Access openings and temporary works may be needed, concrete bases may require removal, and the surrounding structure, drainage or finishes may need to be reinstated.
KpH Environmental provides coordinated civils, structural alterations and Builders’ Work in Connection (BWIC) for plant removal, tank decommissioning and refurbishment projects.By incorporating the associated construction works into our specialist scope, we can manage the removal, enabling works and reinstatement through one coordinated delivery team.
Builders’ Work in Connection (BWIC) refers to the building, civil and structural works required to support a specialist activity. Most commonly associated with mechanical and electrical services, it covers the enabling works and reinstatement needed where specialist equipment interfaces with the building fabric.
For heavy plant and machinery removal and tank decommissioning and removal projects, KpH Environmental coordinates the BWIC with the removal programme. This ensures that enabling works, structural alterations and builders’ works are completed in the correct sequence, from creating safe access for removal through to the final reinstatement of the site.
Plant and tank removal projects frequently require works beyond dismantling and removing the equipment itself. These may include:
Plant-room builders’ works
Plant-room enabling works
Structural openings and temporary works
Diamond drilling and concrete sawing
Concrete breakout and reinstatement
Tank-removal groundworks
Commercial refurbishment enabling works
Equipment-base construction
Underground drainage installation
Reinstatement of walls, floors, ceilings and finishes
KpH Environmental can incorporate these civil, structural and builders’ works into the delivery of its specialist services, reducing the number of separate contractors and interfaces that the client must manage.
Structural alterations may be required to create safe access for the removal or installation of plant, mechanical and electrical equipment, tanks located in basements and below-ground tanks. As a structural alterations contractor supporting specialist removal projects, KpH Environmental can coordinate the formation of access openings, temporary support systems and modifications to existing structural elements.
Depending on the existing structure, access requirements and scope of removal, the works coordinated by KpH Environmental may include:
New concrete and masonry structures may be required following plant or tank removal, particularly where access openings must be closed, affected structures repaired or replacement equipment installed.
KpH Environmental coordinates equipment-base construction with the wider removal and installation programme.
Depending on the project requirements, these works may include:
