WRScompass has a long history of experience and expertise working with our clients to successfully and safely demolish facilities and decommissioning of sites.  Before any demolition activities, there are many steps that need to take place — including performing asbestos abatement, obtaining necessary permits, submitting necessary notifications, disconnecting utilities, and development of site-specific safety and work plans. Our experience in the areas of demolition and decommissioning encompasses chemical, pesticide, and petroleum-refining facilities. For each of these complex projects that we undertake, our goal is to demolish and decommission sites with minimal inconvenience to daily operations and minimal impacts to the environment and local community.

Our Demolition and Decommissioning services include:

• Underground piping/structures removal
• Selective demolition plant decontamination
• Structure demolition
• Equipment dismantling
• Investment recovery
• Concrete demolition and crushing

WRScompass is also a major proponent of a new, more sustainable approach to demolition. This is the deconstruction of a building with the goal of minimizing the amount of materials going to landfills. This "green" approach is applied by removing the materials and segregating them for reuse or recycling. With proper planning this approach has resulted in landfill diversion rates that exceed 90% of an entire building and its contents in some cases. With the rising costs of landfills this method is usually more economical than traditional demolition, and contributes to a healthier environment.
