What Is Industrial Decommissioning?
Industrial decommissioning is the process of permanently shutting down and removing industrial infrastructure, systems, and equipment that are no longer in use. This involves disconnection of utilities, dismantling of equipment, environmental remediation, and often structural demolition or repurposing. Whether it’s the planned retirement of a power plant or the closure of a chemical processing facility, decommissioning must be handled with detailed planning, compliance with regulatory standards, and a commitment to safety and environmental responsibility.
Our team works with facility owners, engineers, and project managers to develop customized decommissioning plans that align with your operational needs and regulatory obligations. We understand that every facility is different, which is why we take a site-specific approach to every project.
Our Industrial Decommissioning Process
- Initial Site Assessment: We begin by evaluating the scope of the project, identifying equipment and infrastructure involved, and assessing any environmental or safety risks. This includes an inventory of all materials to be removed or remediated.
- Decommissioning Planning: Our team prepares a detailed decommissioning plan outlining the timeline, safety protocols, environmental considerations, and step-by-step procedures. This ensures the project is executed efficiently and in accordance with all applicable regulations.
- Utility Disconnection & Permitting: We coordinate the disconnection of utilities such as water, gas, electricity, and steam systems. All necessary permits and regulatory approvals are obtained prior to dismantling activities.
- Machinery & Equipment Removal: Industrial equipment is dismantled and removed by trained technicians. We handle large and complex machinery, conveyors, tanks, pressure vessels, piping systems, and more with care and expertise.
- Hazardous Material Handling: If hazardous materials are present, such as asbestos, lead, chemicals, or contaminated soils, we work with licensed specialists to ensure their removal and disposal is compliant with EPA and OSHA standards.
- Structural Dismantling (If Applicable): In cases where structural elements such as mezzanines, platforms, or support structures must be removed, we perform careful and controlled dismantling to prevent disruption to surrounding areas.
- Site Remediation & Cleanup: After equipment removal and dismantling, we perform site cleanup and, if necessary, soil or groundwater remediation to prepare the location for future use, redevelopment, or sale.

Client Testimonials
We hired Lone Star Industrial Surplus to manage the full decommissioning of our 80,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. From the initial walkthrough to the final site cleanup, their team was professional, transparent, and efficient. They handled hazardous materials, disassembled heavy machinery, and even coordinated the resale of our surplus equipment. Every step of the process was clearly communicated and executed on time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy partner for a complex shutdown, this is the team to call.
Lone Star Industrial Surplus helped us decommission a section of one of our older oil field operations that had been inactive for years. Their team came in with a clear plan, assessed all salvageable assets, and helped us recover value from equipment we thought had no resale potential. Not only did they complete the work safely and on schedule, but they also coordinated logistics and transportation for all removed materials. The asset recovery alone added tens of thousands back to our budget. This company brings real value to the table.
I’ve worked with several contractors on industrial demolition and cleanup projects, but Lone Star Industrial Surplus has set a new standard. From day one, they were responsive and proactive. Their team took the time to understand our site conditions, adjusted to unforeseen challenges, and still completed the work within the projected timeline. Their safety practices were impeccable, and their documentation made reporting and compliance simple. It’s rare to find a team that delivers both operational excellence and outstanding customer service—this company does both.
