Demolition of transformer stations and switchyards
Demolition of transformer stations and switchyards - everything from a single source
The final step in the complete dismantling of switchyards and transformer stations is usually the demolition of buildings and facilities. The ultimate aim usually is to either rebuild the dismantled buildings and facilities or to put them to a new use.
In addition to the dismantling and recycling of the installations, we also offer the gutting of the buildings, demolition, processing of the demolition materials or their removal in accordance with the statutory regulations and the dismantling concepts you have drawn up. This way the complete dismantling and demolition service is coming from a single source and avoid the preliminary inspection and coordination of various service providers. You can be sure that our high standards of occupational safety and environmental protection met on a daily basis for the energy industry will also be met during demolition work.
Thanks to our wide range of machinery with excavators of all sizes, our own heavy-duty transporters and crushing plants, even massive foundations and large buildings are no problem for us and our partners. The installation of protective equipment for the active parts of the facilities we work on is standard procedure. You decide whether you want the demolition up to the top edge of the site or a complete demolition including the foundations including refilling with a defined material.
What can we do for you?
Dismantling of switchgear
We offer complete dismantling and disposal solutions for partial and complete conversions of transformer substations. We undertake the complete demolition and dismantling and recycle scrap as well as copper cables and the dismantled hazardous waste such as transformers, circuit breakers, transformers and oily cables in an environmentally friendly manner in our own recycling plant. We also evacuate SF 6 gas-filled plant components before transportation in accordance with legal regulations.
Dismantling of oily cables
Our teams dismantle your oily cable routes on site and load them directly into suitable containers. We have oil-tight roll-off containers with a volume of 20 cbm in which we transport the cables safely and in compliance with the law. In our approved recycling facility, we accept high and low-pressure oil cables and recycle them in accordance with the statutory regulations under AVV number 17 04 10. We also accept oil-containing joints or cable fittings under AVV 17 02 04.
SF6 gas plants
Especially when it comes to the disposal of SF 6 gas-filled appliances and systems, it is important that hazardous substance- , hazardous goods- and waste regulations are complied with. Depending on the decomposition products contained, very different legal regulations apply, all of which we comply with. We specialize in the disposal of SF6 gas-filled equipment and switchgear and have our own analysis- and evacuation equipment with the appropriate connections for any SF6 gas disposal tasks.
Deconstruction of switchgear
The conversion or dismantling of indoor switchgear poses special challenges in terms of limited space and the removal of hazardous substances. So thought advanced materials were often used at the time of construction that are now hazardous waste when being disposed of. We have the tools and licenses necessary and are able to analyze and dispose of asbestos or PCB-containing adhesives and flooring just as professionally as SF-6 systems or mineral fiber waste. Of course, we will provide you with all required waste disposal documentation once the work has been completed.
Transformer dismantling
We dismantle and recycle transformers of all sizes in our own BImSchG-approved facility. We organize and handle the removal of the transformers and their transport to our grounds. Of course we provide you with the proper waste disposal certificates in accordance with the NachwV. For transformers under 20 tons per source and year, our collective disposal certificate is used.
Moving of large transformers
We have the expertise and equipment to move large transformers from their foundations to a new location or onto a low-loader. We use mobile hydraulic rams, mobile hydraulic pumps as well as the cable winches and hydraulic units of our Unimog to move transformers that cannot be craned due to low roofs or nearby live cables.
