The Benefits of Phoenix Equipment Dismantling or Relocating Your Plant

Complete Turnkey Solutions

At Phoenix Equipment, we go far beyond traditional demolition. As a fully integrated service provider, we manage every phase of plant relocation and dismantlement — from initial planning to structural takedown and equipment logistics. We also offer the unique advantage of marketing and selling surplus equipment to a global network of buyers, often delivering significantly higher returns than scrap value.

Proven Experience

Our team of over 30 full-time professionals includes veteran project managers, engineers, and field supervisors with decades of hands-on experience in complex industrial environments. Whether it’s a partial line removal or a full-scale decommissioning, we bring industry-specific knowledge and meticulous planning to ensure your project is completed safely, on time, and within budget.

Self-Performing Capabilities

With a robust inventory of owned equipment — including hydraulic excavators, cranes, skid steers, and roll-off trucks — we don’t rely on third-party rentals or subcontractors to get the job done. This gives us complete control over logistics, scheduling, and site efficiency, ensuring a streamlined project from mobilization to close-out.

Industry-Leading Safety Record

Safety is not just a requirement — it’s a core value. We are certified members of ISNET, PICS, and PEC Premier, and have maintained an EMR below 1.0 for over 15 years. Our commitment to continuous training, job hazard analysis, and adherence to OSHA standards has earned us an exceptional track record across a wide range of high-risk environments.

Guide to Dismantlement and Relocation Projects

STEP 1 – Consultation & Site Evaluation

We begin with a conversation to understand your goals — whether you're dismantling, relocating, or recovering assets. Our team visits your site to assess the project scope, safety considerations, and potential value recovery.

STEP 2 – Customized Proposal & Planning

Based on the site review, we provide a detailed proposal outlining your project’s timeline, pricing, compliance needs, and asset recovery options. We offer both turnkey and modular solutions tailored to your specific objectives.

STEP 3 – Permits, Safety & Mobilization

Once approved, we assist with permitting and compliance, mobilize our team and equipment, and prepare for safe execution. All work is performed to the highest safety and environmental standards.

STEP 4 – Dismantlement & Relocation Execution

We dismantle or selectively remove equipment and structures with precision. For relocations, we handle matchmarking, rigging, and prep for transport. All logistics — from packing to global freight — are managed in-house.

STEP 5 – Asset Recovery & Site Turnover

We recover, market, and resell valuable equipment, helping you maximize return. Once dismantlement is complete, we restore the site per your needs — whether greenfield-ready, redevelopment-prepped, or simply broom-clean and secure.

Yes. Our turnkey plant relocation services include everything from 3D laser scanning and matchmarking to crating, containerization, inland transport, and ocean freight. We’ve relocated entire processing plants to and from North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Unlike typical demolition contractors, we market your surplus process equipment globally through our established buyer network. Our ability to recover and resell used equipment often generates significantly more value than simple scrap liquidation.

Phoenix Equipment can acquire complete sites in “as-is, where-is” condition. We manage everything from remediation and dismantlement to preparation for redevelopment, allowing you to walk away from the property with a clean exit.

We hold safety certifications with ISNET, PICS, and PEC Premier, and have maintained an EMR rating under 1 for over 15 years. Every project is led by experienced professionals and follows rigorous safety protocols tailored to the site and industry standards.

Project timelines vary based on the scope and complexity, but our in-house equipment and experienced team allow us to mobilize quickly. For example, full dismantlement and shipment of a facility can range from a few months to under a year depending on size and destination.
