Plant Decommissioning in Scotland, UK and Europe

Merkland Tank has developed a particular expertise in the dismantling and safe removal of redundant plant or equipment from difficult and sensitive areas such as fuel depots, oil refineries and other working plant areas. We can also remove plant located on roofs or in other ‘inaccessible’ locations.

In addition to the use of standard oxyacetylene or manual cutters, we operate a wide range of non-spark equipment employing grit or abrasives, cold-cutting methods and air-driven mechanical cutters.

Tanks and equipment can also be removed by a combination of the above and by lifting tanks out by crane.

These contracts are driven by a number of factors. In some cases equipment is being updated and old plant needs removed. Insurance companies are requiring redundant hazardous plant to be removed therefore reducing fire and explosion risk. In the case of schools and homes the tank room is not just a fire risk but can be utilised as a storage area when the tank has been safely removed.
