Disposal of asbestos
We are your partner when asbestos is involved
Asbestos plays a major role in the energy sector in both strongly and weakly bound forms. Asbestos is used in various forms in substations, dry transformers, fire protection cables and many other areas. When systems are dismantled or converted, the asbestos-containing waste must be removed and disposed of in accordance with legal regulations.
We have trained employees, equipment and specialist knowledge in accordance with TRGS 519, which means we meet all legal requirements for dismantling and disposal. We work with the necessary safety measures and suitable containers to safely control the risks to people and the environment.
We recycle the asbestos-free contents in our own recycling facilities while we dispose of the asbestos-containing components in accordance with the legal requirements. Depending on the quantities involved, we prepare the necessary documentation in accordance with the provisions of the Waste Documentation Procedure (NachwV) or accept your small quantities as part of our approved collective disposal certificates.
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.
