DEINSTALLATION, LOGISTICS AND DECOMMISSIONING

Planned removal, transport and destination

Access, disconnection, moving, transport, responsibilities and equipment destination are defined before work starts.

APPROACH

From safe preparation to final destination

Removing a system requires a coordinated sequence and reliable technical information.

Reuse, recovery or disposal are assessed against the system and agreed project scope.

01

Site and system data

Collecting information on the system, access routes and facilities.

02

Removal plan

Sequencing and assigning disconnection and moving activities.

03

Logistics and transport

Defining route, packing, equipment, lifting and delivery.

04

Decommissioning and destination

Assessing the applicable reuse, recovery or end-of-life pathway.

BEFORE REMOVAL

The exit route is part of the project

Room, floor, dimensions, access and intended destination determine the activities to organise. Removal is therefore considered together with the site, not as an isolated step.

Any sale or reuse pathway is assessed separately from the operational deinstallation and moving activities.

  • Manufacturer, model and available dimensions
  • Room, floor and exit route
  • Lifts, load limits and access
  • Target date
  • Intended destination: reuse, sale or end of life

Destination and moving requirements are defined before work starts.

AFTER REMOVAL

The system destination should be defined before planning the exit

A deinstallation intended for relocation has different requirements from a removal leading to recovery or end of life. Condition, completeness, documentation, destination and timing therefore affect how the project is framed.

The initial assessment connects equipment identification, room, route, disconnection activities, packing and moving. Responsibilities across the different parties are made explicit before execution.

Any end-of-life pathway and related obligations must be confirmed for the actual case and the authorised parties involved; they are not assumed from the equipment type alone.

  • Objective: reuse, relocation or end of life
  • System condition and completeness
  • Room, route and exit constraints
  • Packing, moving and destination
  • Responsibilities and documents to confirm

SEQUENCE

From room to destination

The plan connects technical information, facilities, responsibilities and the system’s next pathway.

  1. 01

    Identify

    System, configuration, site and target date.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Room, access, route, load limits and interfaces.

  3. 03

    Remove

    Agreed disconnection and moving sequence.

  4. 04

    Destination

    Reuse, sale or end of life according to the applicable scope.

USEFUL QUESTIONS

Before getting started

Can the system also be assessed for sale?

Yes. Any potential interest is reviewed through the dedicated equipment sales pathway.

Which documents are required?

This depends on the system, destination and stakeholders involved in the agreed pathway.

Are building work and moving always included?

No. Individual activities and responsibilities are explicitly defined in the scope.
