Deconstruction & Replacement of Industry, Energy & Mining Infrastructure

Safe replacement for industrial assets

When industrial assets reach the end of their service life or require major modifications to meet changing process or safety requirements, partial deconstruction or full replacement may be the best course of action.

VSL supports industrial operators in planning and executing these critical transitions with precision, safety, and minimal impact on production. We deliver tailored solutions for dismantling, replacement, or adaptation of structural components across energy, manufacturing, and mining facilities.

Our deconstruction and replacement services

We provide fully engineered solutions to safely dismantle, replace, or adapt industrial structures, with minimal disruption to operations.

Precision removal of deteriorated or obsolete structures, using techniques such as hydrodemolition or wire sawing to protect adjacent assets.

Design, fabrication, and installation of new beams, floors, supports or enclosures, adapted to current operational standards and loads.

Safe repositioning or removal of large components using synchronized jacking and strand lifting systems.

Design and deployment of scaffolding, platforms, or bracing to ensure safety during the works.

Structural analysis, staging plans, and risk mitigation strategies tailored to each facility’s constraints.
