How do you deal with scrap at the end of a contract or demobilisation?
Short answer: Allow for it in the demobilisation plan, count and classify what is on site, decide what is surplus plant and what is scrap, get approval from the client for anything that is not yours, arrange buyers and transport early so that nothing is left behind and document each load, because end-of-contract scrap often arrives all at once and is the largest single load of the project.
