WHAT OUR EXPERTS SAY
Our dismantling and asset recovery Process
Hughes and Salvidge are longstanding members of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) , reflecting our commitment to quality, assurance, and industry best practice. Health and safety and environmental considerations are embedded into every aspect of our operations, ensuring the safest, most practical, and cost-effective solutions for strategic dismantling.
All activities undertaken by Hughes and Salvidge are carried out in accordance with the approved programme of works, phased operations, and safe demolition techniques. Works are planned and executed in line with relevant Risk Assessments, Method Statements, the Project Health and Safety Plan, and the Environmental Plan.
Assessment and Planning
We begin with a thorough assessment of the structure to identify components suitable for salvage, reuse, or resale. Based on this evaluation, we develop a detailed dismantling and industrial asset recovery plan that considers safety, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness.
Identifying and Salvaging Assets for Recovery
Our specialists will then use specialised equipment and techniques to identify and extract valuable industrial assets including equipment and components, such as steel beams, copper wiring, machinery, and fixtures. These items are sorted, cleaned, and prepared for reuse or resale.
Selective Demolition
Our team carefully dismantles plant, equipment, and structures to support asset recovery, reinstallation, or responsible disposal. By applying advanced methods and specialised equipment, we deliver precise dismantling with minimal impact on surrounding areas.
Documentation and Reporting
We maintain detailed records of all dismantling and industrial asset recovery activities, including inventory lists, sales transactions, and disposal documentation. This comprehensive reporting is provided to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities as required.
Site Cleanup and Restoration
Any remaining debris, rubble, and demolition waste is then removed to restore the site to a safe condition. Where required, land remediation measures are implemented to mitigate any potential impacts on the site.
FINAL INSPECTION and site handover
A final inspection is conducted to confirm that all demolition activities have been completed in accordance with required standards and that the site meets all safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements. Any outstanding issues are promptly addressed to ensure full compliance and client satisfaction.
