Disposal and Dismantling

Helping package up compliant, safe disposal of old platforms and equipment reaching end of service.
WHY THIS MATTERS

Decommissioning surfaces decades of material decisions at once.

Disposing of a platform at the end of its service life means confronting every material and substance decision made across its build, refit and maintenance history in one programme. Asbestos, persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals and other restricted substances can all be present, and disposal itself is regulated across multiple regimes.

Where the material position is unclear, disposal and dismantling work is where that uncertainty causes the most disruption — contractors, regulators and recyclers all need a defensible position before work can proceed.

WHAT WE DO

Building the evidenced position disposal work depends on.

We help establish what is actually present before disposal work starts, not part-way through it.

1
Material and substance inventories
Compiling an inventory of hazardous and restricted materials across the platform or equipment ahead of disposal, similar in principle to an Inventory of Hazardous Materials.
2
Waste stream classification
Classifying the waste streams that disposal will generate, so the right handling and disposal route is identified for each.
3
Contractor and recycler requirements
Identifying the compliance requirements that disposal contractors and recyclers will need to meet or evidence.
4
Regulatory liaison support
Supporting the reporting and notification requirements that apply to the disposal route chosen.
HOW WE HELP

A disposal package that holds up to scrutiny.

We help you package disposal and dismantling work into a compliant, evidenced position, reducing the delays that come from discovering a material issue after work has already started.
