How do you handle large fabricated structures and plant being decommissioned?
Short answer: Plan the dismantling with the site's safety rules, remove fluids, batteries, hazardous materials and anything that is not steel or the metal you are selling, cut or break the structure into pieces within the buyer's size limits using qualified people, and agree in advance who handles cutting, loading and transport, because decommissioning heavy plant is a job for qualified crews, not for casual cutting.
