Specialists in industrial dismantlement
CrossGrid delivers controlled dismantlement and demolition for industrial, commercial, and process-led environments — removing redundant structures, plant, and infrastructure with full regulatory compliance and a project-managed approach from survey to sign-off.
Discuss Your ProjectIndustrial dismantlement is the controlled disassembly of plant, machinery, and structures within an active or former industrial facility — distinct from demolition, which typically refers to the wholesale removal of a building. Dismantlement is selective by nature: structural steel, process equipment, pipework, and cladding are removed in a planned sequence, often to allow part of a site to remain operational, to maximise the recovery of reusable assets, or to prepare a facility for redevelopment without disturbing adjacent structures.
CrossGrid undertakes dismantlement across factories, warehouses, process plants, and utility infrastructure, working to a sequence agreed in advance with the client and signed off against a documented method statement, as required under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015).
Site survey & planning
Every project begins with a full site survey to assess structural condition, identify hazardous materials, and establish a safe sequence of works — forming the basis of the method statement and Construction Phase Plan required under CDM 2015.
Structural & plant dismantlement
Controlled removal of steel structures, process plant, pipework, and mechanical systems using cutting, mechanical disassembly, and crane-assisted techniques — sequenced to maintain structural stability throughout.
Hazardous material management
Identification, segregation, and removal of hazardous materials in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and current waste regulations, carried out by trained and, where required, licensed personnel.
Asset recovery & recycling
Wherever possible, we recover and recycle structural steel, plant, and equipment — reducing waste to landfill and recovering value from materials that would otherwise be scrapped.
Site clearance & reinstatement
Final clearance of debris and arisings, with waste streams documented and disposed of through licensed carriers, leaving the site ready for its next use.
Survey & assessment
Site visit, structural and hazard assessment, and development of a project-specific method statement.
Planning & sequencing
Agreeing the dismantlement sequence, safety controls, access requirements, and programme with the client before any work begins.
Controlled dismantlement
Phased removal of structures and plant, with ongoing stability checks and site controls maintained at each stage.
Material recovery & waste management
Segregation of recyclable, reusable, and hazardous materials, with the appropriate records and documentation produced.
Clearance & sign-off
Final site clearance and handover, with all paperwork and compliance records provided for project close-out.
Regulatory compliance as standard
Every project is planned and executed in line with CDM 2015 and current health, safety, and environmental regulations — not as an afterthought, but as the basis of how we sequence and resource the work.
Project-managed from start to finish
A single point of contact oversees the project from initial survey through to final sign-off, coordinating subcontractors, logistics, and compliance documentation throughout.
Experience across complex sites
From process plants to multi-storey industrial structures, our teams are experienced in sequencing dismantlement safely around live operations, adjacent structures, and site-specific constraints.
Dismantlement is the controlled, selective removal of structures, plant, or equipment — often in a specific sequence to preserve adjacent structures or recover materials intact. Demolition generally refers to the complete removal of a building. We assess which approach — or combination — suits the project before work begins.
Yes. We identify and manage hazardous materials in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and current waste legislation, working with licensed specialists where required and ensuring all removal is documented.
Projects of this kind fall under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), which set out duties for clients, designers, and contractors throughout planning and execution. We produce method statements and Construction Phase Plans in line with these requirements for every project.
In many cases, yes. We plan the sequence of works specifically to isolate the area being dismantled from operational parts of the site, with appropriate safety zones and coordination with site management.
Wherever practical, we recover structural steel, plant, and equipment for reuse or recycling. Materials that can't be recovered are segregated and disposed of through licensed waste carriers, with full documentation provided.
Timescales depend on the scale and complexity of the site, the materials involved, and any hazardous material removal required. We provide a realistic programme as part of our initial proposal, based on a full site survey.
Yes. A project-specific method statement and risk assessment are produced and agreed before any work starts, as required under CDM 2015 — generic templates aren't used, as method statements need to reflect the actual structure, hazards, and sequence for that site.
Yes, we undertake industrial dismantlement projects across the UK. Get in touch with details of your site and we'll discuss logistics and scheduling as part of your proposal.
Every site is different. Speak to our team about the scope of your dismantlement project and we'll talk you through how we'd approach it.
