Services
Eleven disciplines. One integrated operation.
From first inspection to final delivery, we run every discipline required to take an industrial asset from end-of-life to global resource. Every service below is backed by engineering-led planning, certified safety protocols, and a global trading and logistics network.

Metal Recycling
We operate high-throughput shredding, sorting, and processing lines that convert industrial and post-consumer scrap into furnace-ready feedstock, recovering maximum value at every stage.
Our metal recycling operation is built around a single principle: every ton that enters our yards should leave at its highest possible value. Incoming material — whether structural steel from a demolition site, mixed non-ferrous turnings from a machine shop, or end-of-life vehicle bodies — is weighed, graded, and routed through purpose-built processing lines. Shredders, granulators, and eddy-current separators break bulk scrap down into liberated metal fractions, while induction sorting and dense-media separation isolate high-purity non-ferrous streams that command premium pricing. The result is consistent, mill-spec feedstock delivered on schedule, with full documentation of yield and grade at every step.

Plant Dismantling
From cement plants to refineries, our engineering-led dismantling teams execute complex teardown programs with rigorous safety protocols and asset-recovery planning built in from day one.
Dismantling a live industrial plant is fundamentally an engineering exercise, not a demolition job. Before a single bolt is loosened, our structural and process engineers map the facility's load paths, isolate utilities, and sequence the teardown so that removal never compromises structural stability or worker safety. We coordinate closely with plant operators to schedule shutdowns, decontaminate process equipment, and stage removed assets for either resale or recycling. Every plant we dismantle — whether a cement kiln, a chemical processing unit, or a legacy manufacturing line — is treated as a unique engineering problem with its own risk profile, sequencing plan, and recovery strategy.

Factory Decommissioning
We manage the entire decommissioning lifecycle — equipment isolation, machinery removal, site clearance, and environmental remediation — so facilities can be repurposed or sold with confidence.
Factory decommissioning goes well beyond removing equipment — it's about handing a client back a site that is safe, compliant, and ready for its next chapter, whether that's redevelopment, sale, or long-term mothballing. Our teams begin with a full facility audit, mapping every process line, utility connection, and potential contamination source. We then sequence machinery removal to preserve resale value wherever possible, manage environmental remediation to regulatory standard, and produce the documentation clients need for insurance, planning, and future land use. Because decommissioning projects often run alongside live operations elsewhere on site, our project managers work in constant coordination with client teams to avoid disruption.

Ship Breaking
Our ship recycling operations follow the Hong Kong Convention standards, safely dismantling end-of-life vessels while recovering steel, machinery, and fittings for global resale.
Recycling a vessel responsibly requires far more than beaching and cutting steel. Our ship recycling yards operate to Hong Kong Convention (HKC) standards, with full hazardous materials inventories prepared for every vessel before dismantling begins. Asbestos, PCBs, and residual fuels are identified and removed under controlled conditions, worker safety infrastructure is verified independently, and every stage of the process — from initial gas-freeing to final steel recovery — is documented for the shipowner's records. Beyond structural steel, we recover engines, generators, navigation equipment, and fittings for resale through our global asset network, maximizing the residual value of every vessel we process.

Industrial Demolition
Controlled demolition of chimneys, silos, furnaces, and heavy structures using mechanical, high-reach, and precision blasting methods — planned to the smallest detail.
Heavy industrial structures — chimneys, silos, blast furnaces, cooling towers — demand demolition methods engineered specifically for their geometry, material, and surroundings. Our demolition engineers model each structure before mobilization, selecting between mechanical high-reach demolition, precision controlled blasting, or a hybrid approach based on proximity to live operations, structural condition, and material recovery goals. Vibration and dust are monitored continuously during execution, with real-time adjustments made to protect surrounding infrastructure and communities. The result is a demolition program that's not just fast, but predictable — every structure comes down exactly where and how it was engineered to.

Asset Recovery
We identify, appraise, and remarket machinery, equipment, and materials from decommissioned sites, unlocking capital that would otherwise be scrapped at a loss.
Too many retired industrial assets are scrapped for a fraction of their real value simply because no one looked for a buyer before the cutting torches arrived. Our asset recovery team works in parallel with dismantling and decommissioning engineers from the earliest planning stages, identifying machinery, equipment, and materials with resale potential before demolition begins. Independent valuation, condition reporting, and access to our global buyer network let us place assets — from process machinery to structural steel — with buyers who need exactly what a client no longer does, often recouping a meaningful share of total project cost.
