At GCD | PDI, we help reduce your environmental impact and cut project costs by recovering valuable materials from your demolition site. Our team is skilled in identifying, dismantling, and salvaging everything from structural beams and steel to doors, windows. We divert at least 95% of materials like concrete, steel structures, and plant equipment from landfills. We also offer on-site crushing of concrete and asphalt, making these materials available for future use minimizing construction costs.
Asset recovery is the process of salvaging or reclaiming valuable materials and equipment during the demolition phase of a building. At GCD | PDI, we help you identify items that can be reused, resold, or recycled rather than sending everything to a landfill.
Every site contains unique resources. For example, copper and steel can often be recovered from mechanical or electrical systems. Architectural components such as windows, doors, and custom fixtures are frequently salvaged for reuse. Even roofing and flooring materials may find new life in other projects.
Asset recovery is not just environmentally responsible it also creates significant cost savings. Recovered materials can be resold or repurposed, offsetting part of your demolition budget.
GCD | PDI starts with a detailed site assessment to identify all recoverable assets. We create a full inventory of these materials, including the current condition, location, and estimated market value for the assets.
Based on this analysis, our team develops a tailored recovery plan. We prioritize safety and logistics while mapping out the extraction for these materials, including scrap metals and structural components.
Once the plan is in place, we carefully remove all identified materials and transport them to our secured facilities. Items are cataloged, evaluated for resale, and prepared for market—whether via auction, private sale, or industry channels.
Unsalvageable materials are sorted for recycling or disposed of following environmental regulations. We also ensure that residual hazards are removed from the site, leaving the property safe and ready for its next phase of use.
If your demolition involves oil rigs, natural gas infrastructure, industrial facilities, or manufacturing plants, our team can often offset your costs by salvaging and recycling a wide range of high-value materials.
Materials GCD | PDI Commonly Recovers:
- Metals such as copper, aluminum, and steel
- Pipes and mechanical systems
- Flooring and bricks
- Structural beams
- Concrete and asphalt
- Generators, HVAC units, and machinery
- Doors, windows, and architectural fixtures
- Office furniture and commercial equipment
Our asset recovery services provide measurable financial and environmental benefits. When physical assets are no longer needed, they are often liquidated below fair market value. Our process helps you recover those assets and turn them into financial returns.
Our approach to asset recovery helps businesses reduce their environmental footprint and generate new revenue from existing resources. Instead of disposing of valuable items, we give them renewed purpose and life in other developments.
Materials like scrap metal, concrete, and industrial fixtures have significant resale value. In addition, we reduce transportation and disposal costs by crushing concrete and processing materials directly on-site.
GCD | PDI brings decades of experience in asset recovery for commercial, municipal, and industrial clients. Our team ensures that every high-value component is salvaged and put back into circulation—reducing landfill waste and increasing your project’s ROI.
We are equipped to handle complex demolitions of all sizes. Our specialists will evaluate your structure, consult on profit potential, and help you execute an environmentally conscious, cost-saving asset recovery plan.
