Controlled dismantling, relocation and decommissioning of recycling installations
Industrial recycling facilities operate in a dynamic market influenced by regulation, material availability, capacity changes and technological development. As a result, recycling plants are regularly reconfigured, downsized, relocated or fully decommissioned. These transitions often involve heavy installations, complex processing lines and tight environmental and safety constraints.
Gerritsen Group understands the operational and technical challenges involved in modifying or relocating recycling facilities. We support operators during shutdowns, restructurings and relocations by providing controlled execution, detailed planning and clear coordination. Our approach ensures that assets are dismantled safely, installations are handled responsibly and sites are prepared for their next phase of use.
Safety first in every recycling project
Safety is fundamental when working in industrial recycling environments. Facilities contain heavy machinery, conveyors, shredders, sorting systems and residual materials, all of which require strict control during dismantling and relocation activities.
Gerritsen Group applies structured risk assessments, certified supervision and clear safety protocols to every project. Our trained specialists work according to defined procedures, ensuring safe execution for personnel, equipment and site infrastructure, while complying with applicable environmental and safety regulations.
