Facility Decommissioning & Demolition Services

When it's time to decommission your oil & gas facilities, you need a contractor who understands the complexities and safety requirements. Wayco Environmental specializes in complete facility decommissioning and demolition, handling everything from initial site preparation through final cleanup.

We focus on safely decommissioning your facilities while maximizing asset recovery to offset project costs.

Our Facility Decommissioning Process

Initial Site Preparation & Safety

We start by ensuring all equipment is depressurized and removing all hydrocarbons, liquids, and gases from the site. Safety is our first priority. Wayco’s team makes sure the site is completely safe before any demolition work begins.

Equipment Assessment & Recovery

We work with you to identify any equipment worth keeping. We prep salvageable equipment for relocation to boneyards or other facilities, helping you recover value from your assets.

Safe Dismantling of Infrastructure

Our team systematically dismantles facilities, carefully sorting materials to maximize scrap recovery and recycling opportunities. We handle both above and below ground infrastructure.
