G.A. RITTENHOUSE
The plant decommissioning and asset recovery division of G.A. Rittenhouse’s furnace operations. Equipment we recover that cannot be re-sold is melted into new metal — which is why we can price work other contractors walk away from.
Chemical sites carry the highest alloy content of anything we clear. Hastelloy and Inconel process equipment that a general demolition contractor prices as steel is worth many times that, and knowing the difference before the torch comes out is the whole job.
Lined, jacketed and alloy vessels. Certified clean and gas-free by your people before we start, then removed whole where the resale case supports it.
Distillation and absorption columns, trays and internals.
Shell and tube, plate and air-cooled. Tube bundles are frequently the most valuable single item on a site.
Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel and stainless process lines — graded as alloy, not as pipe.
Pumps, compressors, agitators and drives with a working second life.
We work to your remediation contractor’s programme rather than across it. Hazardous materials remain their scope and yours.
Equipment with a working second life is worth more running than poured, and we will tell you which is which rather than quietly melting the difference. Why that gap is so wide.
We own the furnaces, so recovered metal has a floor price we can quote on the day instead of after finding a buyer. How the melt side works.
Rigging, hauling and permits are ours. On remote or constrained sites this decides more of the economics than the equipment does.
Most closures cut across more than one of these. All industries we serve.
Send the equipment list and the metallurgy. The alloy content usually changes the economics of the whole project.
