Decommissioning

ABLE's experience and capability together with the advantage of the TERRC, BRIE and Middlesbrough Port facilities offer a unique service to the offshore industry for decommissioning offshore and structures.

ABLE, utilising the Best Practicable Environmental Option ('BPEO'), decommission in the following order:-
  • Reuse the complete structure 'as is' / refurbish as required.
  • Reuse parts of the structure 'as is' / refurbish as required.
  • Reuse equipment 'as is'/refurbish as required.
  • Reuse items as construction materials, eg plate, piping, structural steel, etc.
  • Recycle the maximum quantity of the balance.
  • Dispose of the minimum quantity as waste.

On completion of the works, a Completion Document is issued. This provides a bible of the contract and specifically addresses the details of disposal thus providing a 'cradle-to-grave' statement of fact which meets ever increasing stringent environmental requirements.

ABLE has achieved reuse and recycling success in excess of 98% of 50 plus offshore structures received to date.

ABLE have passed numerous Health Safety & Environmental audits directly by clients and consultants on behalf of clients. All work is carried out in accordance with an integrated management system.
