Plant Demolition
Making short work of big facilities
Our experience has made us an industry expert in plant deconstruction and environmental site closure. With sustainability at the heart of everything we do, we ensure that all environmentally hazardous materials are identified, contained, and disposed of according to the highest safety standards.

A smarter and safer approach to plant teardowns
Plant demolition is about more than just bringing buildings down—it is about strategic dismantling that protects nearby residents, the workers, and the surrounding environment.
Working on large-scale plant demolition and remediation, such as Tenneco, gives us a unique position for decommissioning industrial plants. The size of our fleet and equipment coupled with the ability to mobilize allows us to decommission complex industrial sites safely and efficiently. From start to finish, GCD | PDI brings methodical planning, engineering support, and environmental accountability to every project.

What unique challenges are involved in plant demolition?
Plant demolitions often involve complex structures, heavy steel framing, large machinery, and hazardous materials. We create engineered demolition plans that prioritize safety, minimize downtime, and ensure compliance with environmental and regulatory standards.
How do you handle hazardous materials in an industrial plant?
Before demolition begins, we conduct a full environmental assessment. Our team safely removes asbestos, lead, PCBs, and other contaminants in accordance with state and federal regulations. Proper abatement protects workers, prevents environmental damage, and reduces project risk.
Can you salvage and recycle materials from a plant demolition?
Yes. Commonly salvaged materials from plant facilities include: steel and concrete. Our team prioritizes recovery and recycling which lowers disposal costs and supports clients needs for sustainability and LEED certification goals.
