Dismantling installations
The dismantling of systems and machinery involves safely disconnecting and dismantling machines so that they can be moved and put back into service at a new location.
This usually happens when moving to a new location. In that case, if desired, we can also handle the transportation, installation, and recommissioning of the systems and machinery.
We can take care of everything for you throughout this process—from planning and disassembly to assembly and testing. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the options.
Safety Procedures for Dismantling Installations
Safety is the top priority in every project. A system may be connected to electricity, compressed air, hydraulics, water, steam, gas, chemicals, and more. Before disconnecting anything, we make sure it is clear which energy sources are present and how they can be safely isolated.
We begin with a comprehensive safety plan that identifies all risks. We also coordinate work permits, safety barriers, personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures in advance.
The safety plan ensures that work can be carried out safely and in a controlled manner, with minimal risk of injury or damage.
Dismantling Plan and Risk Assessment
A good dismantling project always starts with a good dismantling plan. A dismantling plan explains, step by step, how the installation will be taken out of service and removed. This includes the sequence of work, the personnel required, tools, lifting equipment, safety barriers, transportation, waste streams, scheduling, and handover.
This prevents improvisation on the job site and gives you clarity about the implementation process in advance. In addition, a thorough risk assessment is conducted beforehand and incorporated into the plan; this allows us to avoid unnecessary risks and minimize the likelihood of unsafe situations for personnel and equipment.
Minimizing Production Downtime
In many factories, certain parts must continue to operate while a system is being dismantled. Production downtime costs money, which is why we plan the dismantling in a way that minimizes the impact on production.
We determine in advance which parts will be taken out of service and when, so that downtime can be minimized. Sometimes a system can be disconnected and removed in phases, while other processes continue to run.

Damage-free disassembly for reuse
Typically, the machines we dismantle are to be put back into service at a new location. This requires careful and damage-free dismantling. Parts must be marked, photographed, protected, packed, and systematically documented.
When a system needs to be reused, disassembly is essentially the first step toward future reassembly. Components must therefore be removed carefully and in the correct order, labeled, and documented.
Labels and documentation for parts
Labels and component documentation are essential when dismantling machines that will be put back into service later. Large installations, in particular, have many components, cables, pipes, and mounting points.
We clearly identify where each part comes from and what it is used for. This helps with replacement, maintenance, sales, insurance, and internal record-keeping.
Disconnecting pipes, cables, and connections
Equipment is often connected to a network of pipes, cables, control systems, and auxiliary systems. We have extensive experience in disconnecting a wide variety of machines and systems, which enables us to handle electrical systems, compressed air, water, gas, steam, exhaust systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, data systems, and PLC controls.
We disconnect connections in a controlled manner. Cables are de-energized, pipes are sealed off, and any residual pressure or fluid is safely removed. We also leave open pipe sections, cable trays, and connection points neat and secure. This prevents leaks, tripping hazards, short circuits, and problems during future work.
Heavy and complex lifting work
When dismantling installations, components often need to be lifted out of a factory or moved within the facility. We have the appropriate lifting equipment, expertise in load distribution, and experience working in confined spaces.
We carefully coordinate the disassembly and lifting operations. Before a component is detached, we clearly outline how its weight will be supported and how it will be moved safely.

Nedmove Dismantling Systems
At Nedmove, we have the necessary tools, personnel, and experience to dismantle systems in any configuration. In addition to dismantling, we can also handle everything for you—from transporting the systems to a new location, moving them indoors, positioning them, assembling them, connecting them, and testing them.
Are you looking for a company to handle the disassembly, or one that can take care of your entire moving process? Please feel free to contact us to discuss the options.
