Dismantling a Redundant Batching Plant at the Port of Tyne with a 50te Crane

A redundant concrete batching plant at the Port of Tyne cut into sections, lifted down with a 50te crane and removed, leaving the site clear.

Project

A batching plant taken down and the site left clear

We dismantled a redundant concrete batching plant and its associated structures at the Port of Tyne, and removed everything from site, leaving it clear.

We were principal contractor for the job. The plant was cut into transportable sections, some around 7.5m long, and lifted down with a 50te mobile crane. As an upper-tier waste carrier, we loaded and removed all the scrap ourselves, and its value was retained against our price.

The client had one principal contractor for the whole job, from the first cut to a clear site, with the scrap value offset against the cost.
