PLANT DECOMMISSIONING, DEMOLITION & FACILITY REPURPOSING

Klean Industries provides comprehensive plant decommissioning services for power generation facilities, manufacturing plants, waste-to-energy systems, recycling infrastructure, and heavy industrial operations worldwide. We serve as turnkey general contractors responsible for the full lifecycle of industrial asset retirement, from initial facility assessment and regulatory closure planning to demolition, remediation, and property redevelopment. Whether the objective is complete demolition, phased dismantling, asset recovery, or facility repurposing, Klean delivers structured, compliant, and economically optimized solutions.

A Phased Approach to Industrial Decommissioning

Based on extensive global experience across complex industrial environments, Klean has developed a disciplined five-phase methodology that reduces risk, preserves asset value, and accelerates redevelopment timelines.

Phase I – Facility Assessment

The Facility Assessment establishes the technical, environmental, and regulatory foundation for successful plant decommissioning services. Klean conducts a comprehensive evaluation of historical and current operations to determine regulatory obligations, environmental risks, and redevelopment potential.

Assessment Scope Includes:

  • Regulatory status review and closure requirements (federal, state, and local)
  • Phase I / Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
  • Hazardous materials identification:
    • Asbestos-containing materials
    • Lead-based paint
    • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
    • Universal waste and e-waste
  • Evaluation of historical spills or contamination risks
  • Determination of off-site environmental impact exposure
  • Permitting and regulatory closure pathway development

This structured diagnostic phase ensures compliance while identifying cost-saving opportunities early in the process.

Phase II – Deactivation & Closure Planning

Following assessment, Klean develops a comprehensive deactivation plan aligned with regulatory, financial, and redevelopment objectives.

Planning Deliverables:

  • Engineering plans and technical specifications
  • Project closure scoping documentation
  • Health and Safety Plan (HASP)
  • Permitting strategy and regulatory coordination
  • Bid management and contractor selection (if required)
  • Brownfield redevelopment applicability analysis
  • Capital budgeting and cost forecasting
  • Asset inventory and valuation (scrap, resale, reuse potential)

Our asset management analysis often transforms decommissioning from a cost center into a value recovery opportunity.

Phase III – Implementation & Controlled Demolition

Klean executes industrial decommissioning projects through disciplined project and construction management while maintaining strict environmental and safety controls.

Implementation Services Include:

  • Project & construction management
  • Industrial cleaning and system decontamination
  • Asbestos and lead abatement
  • Asbestos sampling, clearance testing, and compliance reporting
  • Aboveground and underground storage tank (AST/UST) removal
  • Hazardous materials removal and disposal
  • Perimeter air monitoring and environmental controls
  • Regulated waste profiling and disposal logistics
  • Scrap metal recovery and equipment resale
  • Controlled demolition activities
  • Site grading and restoration

Our teams prioritize risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency throughout the demolition and environmental remediation process.

Phase IV – Operations, Monitoring & Regulatory Compliance

For sites requiring active remedial systems or extended oversight, Klean provides ongoing operations and maintenance services.

These include:

  • Active remediation system management
  • Environmental compliance reporting
  • Regulatory agency coordination
  • Long-term monitoring programs

This ensures sustained compliance and protects asset value prior to divestiture or redevelopment.

Phase V – Redevelopment & Site Reuse

Industrial site transformation represents a significant opportunity when managed strategically.

Klean supports clients through:

  • Brownfield redevelopment planning
  • Risk assessment and environmental liability evaluation
  • Permitting transfer to new owners
  • Buyer due diligence support
  • Site divestiture advisory services

Our redevelopment expertise unlocks economic value while ensuring environmental stewardship.
