A dismantling site generates a wider range of waste streams than almost any other industrial activity — structural steel, mixed metals, concrete, insulation, refractory, oils, sludges, contaminated soil, packaging and general arisings, frequently all in the same week. Managing that properly is a logistics and compliance discipline in its own right.
DDMS Global characterises waste before it is generated. The dismantling method statement identifies what each work front will produce, in what quantity, requiring what handling. Bins, bays, containment and haulage are then positioned to match — which is why our sites do not accumulate the mixed piles that make compliant disposal expensive and diversion rates poor.
Every consignment moves under duty-of-care documentation to a facility whose permit we have verified. Hazardous streams are packaged, labelled and consigned to the applicable transport standards. The reporting pack — manifests, transfer notes, consignment notes, diversion statistics — is compiled as the project runs, so environmental close-out is a submission rather than an investigation.
Scope coverage
- Waste characterisation and classification
- Source segregation and stream management
- Hazardous waste handling and consignment
- Asbestos survey coordination and clearance
- Contaminated soil handling and remediation
- Dust, noise and vibration control
- Water management and runoff containment
- Duty-of-care and regulatory reporting
Waste pre-characterisation
Anticipated streams identified from the dismantling method and the hazard register, with quantities estimated and classification confirmed by sampling where required.
Site waste management plan
A plan defining segregation categories, container types and positions, handling routes, storage limits and target diversion rate, briefed to every crew on site.
Source segregation
Streams separated at the work front into designated containers, with supervisor verification and correction of cross-contamination before consolidation.
Hazardous stream control
Hazardous materials packaged, labelled, stored in bunded and secured areas and consigned under the applicable hazardous waste documentation.
Environmental controls
Continuous dust suppression, noise and vibration monitoring, spill containment, bunding and surface water management with discharge monitoring where required.
Licensed disposal and recovery
Consignment exclusively to permitted facilities with verified licences, prioritising recovery and recycling routes over disposal.
Reporting and close-out
Compiled manifest set, diversion statistics, monitoring records and the environmental close-out pack for regulatory submission.
Diversion by design
Segregation planned before the waste exists is what produces a 94% average diversion rate rather than an aspiration.
Duty of care demonstrable
Verified licences, complete transfer documentation and chain-of-custody records make compliance provable, not merely claimed.
Boundary impacts controlled
Dust, noise, vibration and runoff are monitored against agreed thresholds and corrected before they become complaints.
Close-out ready
Reporting compiled continuously means the environmental pack is submitted at completion instead of reconstructed months later.

Answered directly by the engineers who deliver this scope.
Almost entirely through source segregation. Once streams are mixed, the recoverable fraction drops sharply and separation costs more than disposal. By positioning containment at the work front and briefing crews on separation as a task requirement, the material never mixes in the first place.
Duty of care under Indian waste legislation follows the waste producer, which is normally the site owner, and it cannot be transferred by contract. What we do is make it dischargeable — verifying receiving facility licences, maintaining complete transfer documentation and providing chain-of-custody evidence for every consignment.
Asbestos removal is executed by licensed specialist contractors under a separate controlled scope. We coordinate the survey, integrate the removal programme into the overall sequence, manage the interface and hold the area until clearance certification is issued before general work resumes.
Ground investigation is targeted at areas whose historic use indicates risk. Confirmed contamination is excavated or treated against remediation criteria agreed with you and the regulator, then validated by independent clearance sampling before the area is signed off.
Typically boundary dust monitoring, noise measurement at sensitive receptors, vibration monitoring where adjacent structures require it, and surface water sampling where discharge occurs. Thresholds are agreed in advance and records form part of the close-out pack.
