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.

Equipment and plant we clear

Pharmaceutical facilities combine high-value equipment with documentation requirements that outlast the building. What matters is not just what a lyophiliser is worth, but being able to show where it went and that it left the site under control.

Process equipment

Reactors, dryers, lyophilisers, granulators, tablet presses, coaters and capsule fillers.

Clean rooms

Modular wall and ceiling systems, HEPA plant, pass-throughs and air handling.

Utilities

WFI and purified water systems, clean steam, HVAC, chillers and compressed air.

Laboratory equipment

Analytical instruments, stability chambers and lab furniture.

Documented disposition

Chain-of-custody records per asset. Where equipment must be rendered unusable rather than resold, we document that it was.

Controlled decommissioning

We work to your quality and EHS procedures, not around them.

What the work looks like

Three things decide the number

What resells versus what melts

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.

Metal content

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.

Removal and freight

Rigging, hauling and permits are ours. On remote or constrained sites this decides more of the economics than the equipment does.

We work across heavy industry

Most closures cut across more than one of these. All industries we serve.

DECOMMISSIONING A LIFE-SCIENCE FACILITY?

Documentation matters as much as value here. Tell us what the disposition requirements are and we will work to them.
