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.
Mine and mill closures are a rigging problem before they are a recovery problem. The equipment is enormous, frequently remote, and the cost of moving it decides whether it is worth selling or melting. We run our own transport, which is why we can answer that question honestly.
Jaw, cone and gyratory crushers, SAG and ball mills, and their drives.
Conveyor systems, structure, screens, feeders and stackers.
Thickeners, flotation cells, filters, cyclones and pumps.
Haul trucks, loaders, dozers and support equipment.
Headframes, gantries, bins, chutes and mill buildings. Usually the tonnage that sets the schedule.
Rigging, hauling and permits are ours, not a broker’s. That matters most where the site is hardest to reach.
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 us the plant list and the location. Freight decides more of this economics than the equipment does.
