Industrial Demolition Services
At Lone Star Industrial Surplus, we offer professional industrial demolition services designed to safely dismantle, remove, and clear large-scale industrial structures. From factories and refineries to power plants and manufacturing lines, we manage the most demanding demolition projects with precision and regulatory compliance.
Industrial demolition is far more complex than traditional demolition—it involves a high degree of planning, specialized equipment, environmental considerations, and safety procedures. With decades of industry experience, our team ensures each project is executed with attention to detail, minimal disruption, and full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.
Whether you’re preparing for redevelopment, shutting down an obsolete facility, or removing hazardous structures, our demolition specialists are ready to handle every aspect of your project—safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
What Are Industrial Demolition Services?
Industrial demolition refers to the controlled dismantling and removal of heavy-duty industrial facilities, including manufacturing plants, chemical processing units, steel mills, oil refineries, and power generation stations. Unlike residential or commercial demolition, industrial demolition often requires specialized techniques, hazardous material management, and precise coordination across multiple disciplines.
Our team works closely with property owners, engineers, project managers, and environmental consultants to plan and execute demolition projects that are safe, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible.
Our Industrial Demolition Capabilities
We provide comprehensive industrial demolition services tailored to your facility’s size, structure, and requirements. Our capabilities include:
- Structural Demolition: Safe and efficient removal of buildings, towers, silos, tanks, cooling units, mezzanines, and support structures.
- Mechanical Demolition: Dismantling of manufacturing lines, production equipment, boilers, chillers, and utility systems.
- Interior Strip-Outs: Selective demolition for partial closures or renovations, including removal of piping, ductwork, wiring, and machinery.
- Rigging & Heavy Equipment Removal: Precision dismantling and transportation of oversized machinery and equipment.
- Hazardous Material Abatement: Identification and removal of asbestos, lead-based materials, and other regulated substances.

Environmental Responsibility
We understand the impact that demolition can have on the environment. That’s why we’re committed to practices that reduce waste and protect natural resources. Our team focuses on material recovery, recycling, and sustainable disposal to ensure your project contributes to a cleaner future.
We separate materials like concrete, steel, copper, and aluminum for recycling whenever possible. Additionally, all hazardous materials are handled and disposed of in accordance with current environmental guidelines.
Asset Recovery & Salvage Services
Many facilities contain valuable equipment, materials, and scrap that can be resold or reused. Our asset recovery services help clients offset project costs and reduce waste. We assess all reusable components—such as industrial machinery, electrical panels, valves, and metal components—and manage removal, resale, or recycling.
In many cases, recovered assets can be sold back into the secondary market, creating opportunities to recoup investment and extend the lifecycle of valuable equipment.
Our Demolition Process
Every project begins with a site-specific plan designed to achieve your goals safely and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect when working with our team:
- 1. Site Evaluation: We perform a detailed site survey and hazard assessment.
- 2. Permitting & Planning: We handle all necessary permits and create a demolition plan that aligns with your schedule and budget.
- 3. Utility Disconnection: We safely shut down all utilities before beginning physical work.
- 4. Demolition Execution: Our experienced crews perform the demolition using appropriate methods and safety measures.
- 5. Debris Removal & Recycling: We sort and remove all materials, ensuring recycling and proper disposal.
- 6. Final Site Cleanup: Once demolition is complete, we prepare the site for redevelopment, resale, or regulatory clearance.

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.
